I know what you’re thinking: isn’t Flickr the Flickr of mobile photography? After all, there are numerous ways to get your camphone snaps onto Yahoo’s photo-sharing site. However, that hasn’t stopped US firm Mobicious from launching its own mobile-centric service, called SnapMyLife.
The idea: you take a shot on your phone, and immediately send it to SnapMyLife using MMS or email, where it’s published for the world to see. There’s also some good social networking features, allowing you to invite friends from your phone, and get alerts when they publish new pics. Oh, and there’s no filth involved, since the company is using filters to identify and remove risque snaps. CEO George Grey is certainly bullish:
“Internet-based social networks and photo-sharing sites have recently introduced mobile uploading features, but have only scratched the surface. Many of SnapMyLife’s early users prefer to use the mobile-focused SnapMyLife site over services that provide their ‘full-experience’ on desktop interfaces.”
Although it launched today, the site’s had more than 90 days of pre-launch testing, and claims to have signed up more than 1,000 people a day, attracting over 500,000 unique visitors last month alone. Oh, and it’s apparently one of the ten most popular social networking web apps on the iPhone already. It’s well worth a look.
