Memeo launches Share for sending photos to grandma

by Josh Lowensohn

Tuesday morning software company Memeo launched a new product called Share. Aimed at people who don't use photo- or video-sharing sites, Share lets you take what you've captured on your digital camera and beam it to friends and family members without clogging up their e-mail in-boxes with full-resolution shots.

The product is not aimed at the Flickr crowd, but instead at people who want to create small circles of people to share their shots with. That's not to say there's not a social element, since it can be configured to automatically upload your shots to Facebook. It can also slurp up your existing contacts from Web mail providers, like what you'd get using Plaxo.

The company is offering free licenses of the software to the first 1,000 people who sign up to use it. After that it will get capped off at 10,000 sign-ups.

Hmm I haven't heard anything about this. I would be interested to find out more about this service, as the less web-savvy people I know could probably benefit. oc web design

Yeah, I started using Memeo Share. It's really easy to set up. My less-technical friends were able to set it up too, and now we are all sharing our pictures and videos. It's actually a really cool concept and its done very well. It says on their website that the first 1000 users are free for life. So, why not?

Thanks for the positive comments. We are focused on making sharing simple for people who want to share high quality photos and videos directly to friends or family member's desktops without the pain of resizing, emailing, or babysitting uploads.

A couple months ago, I took a bunch of photos at my daughter's 6th year birthday, plugged my camera into my computer (after deleting the photos that I did not want), and the photos were automatically delivered to my Mom's computer in North Carolina. The photos were then integrated into her screensaver so she got to see the birthday photos pop into her screensaver as they arrived. Really easy for me and really easy for her.

You can try the service for free at http://www.memeo.com/memeoshare.php. If you choose to give us a try, we'd love to hear what you like and where we need to improve. Just send your comments to memeoshare@memeo.com.
