fotochatter is finally launched!
It has been crazy but it's done...sort of. My semi-secret project is finally ready for its debut. fotochatter is born! fotochatter is a mobile social network (or mososo if you speak Wired) for image sharing. Basically, it is a free service that allows a user to narrowcast photos from their phones to the phones of all their friends and receive comments back on their phone.
The basic use case is as follows:
1. Jack sends a picture from his phone to his fotochatter posting address.
2. All ten of Jack's fotochatter friends get an SMS notifying them that he has added a photo (if they have this option turned on).
3. They view Jack's photo on their phones either via the fotochatter WAP site or J2ME(Java) application.
4. Some friends make comments on his photo.
5. 5 minutes later, Jack receives several comments (via SMS) on his photo, and can reply to each individually via SMS.
We just launched last night, and I use the term night loosely. In any case, it is there and we will be growing it on an invite only basis for a time. However, if you are reading this blog, you are obviously a discriminating and intelligent individual. If you would like an invite, drop me a note: fotochatter-at-gmail-com.
This will by my last project before school, so I hope all goes well. It will be interesting to see if this is the type of thing that people want to do with their phones, and if so, what the adoption of the service will be like.
