Today, we announced aggregation partnerships with some of the web's largest media sites, including Photobucket, Picasa and Webshots, which I alluded to in the last post. And there will be more to come of these aggregation sites in the near future. We are really excited about working with these sites since they will open up new sources of digital media to BlueString users. Plus, they have all been great partners to work with!

You can read the entire release here.

In our next product release (coming very soon), BlueString users will be able to access videos and images that they have already stored on these sites directly from BlueString. So you will be able include photos from all of these sites in your BlueString shows and creations -- no need to upload them again to BlueString. Our goal is to make it a snap for users to create multimedia shows that they can then share and talk about with anyone - their friends, family, school mates, etc.

As quoted in the release today, "By integrating some of the best third party sites on the Web into BlueString, we are making it easy for consumers to use this application no matter where they store their digital media."

We also announced our partnership with Eye Fi. WIth Eye Fi, users can use their home wi-fi network to send photos right from their digital camera to their BlueString account. Now you don't even have to plug in your camera to preserve and share your latest pictures. Eye Fi is doing this using the OpenXdrive APIs. Xdrive, our sister product, powers the storage behind BlueString.

Finally, we're at Web 2.0 this week, so come visit us. We can be found at the AOL Developer Network booth, as well as at the Photobucket booth. We're giving sneak peeks of the aggregation capabilities soon to be available in BlueString. Eye Fi is with us at the AOL booth showing off their eye fi cards as well.
