dotPhoto Unveils Next Generation of Leading Photo Sharing Site

June 2006— dotPhoto just announced the highly anticipated launch of the next generation of its flagship consumer service: www.dotPhoto.com, the most comprehensive multimedia and photo-sharing site, with features and services perfectly tailored to an individual’s special images, moments, and memories. Compelling and highly interactive, the new www.dotPhoto.com automatically builds communities for consumer photographers by providing a next-generation forum where they share life’s stories through the magic of digital photography.

With its incredibly clean design, intuitive workflow, and customizable features, the new www.dotPhoto.com enhances the amateur photographer’s experience from shutter-click to mouse-click, transforming their personal photos and videos into a truly engaging story.

“dotPhoto gives each and every photographer the opportunity to use their special images and videos in as many meaningful ways as possible,” says Fred King, Vice President and General Manager–Web for dotPhoto, a leading provider of photo, video, and multimedia applications, content, and services for wireless and Web users. “Every user gets that coveted and sometimes much deserved 15 minutes of fame when they express themselves to our online community, whether through a personal Web site, an on-line photo slide show, or customized merchandise gift. As a result, dotPhoto.com goes far beyond utilitarian—it completely engages our audience, and gives them the optimal member experience.”

The new dotPhoto.com has a redesigned ‘unified interface’ that makes it easy to access its friendly, personalized features, such as My dotPhoto, My Albums, My Shows, My Projects, and My Web Site. Other cool options include community photo sharing with Top Picks, and merchandising opportunities with unique, theme-based products. Finally, in-depth, easy-to-use editing tools work on both Macs and PCs, ranking the overall dotPhoto process as the fastest in the industry.

“While technology and tools are always changing, the human experience lasts forever,” King says. “Our newly redesigned and re-engineered dotPhoto.com site brings technology and community together in a dramatic and meaningful way that’s never been done before. We invite everyone with a digital camera or camera phone to visit the new dotPhoto.com, and experience the next-generation of photo sharing.”
