Following on our announcement during the Web 2.0 Conference, we launched our aggregation capabilities into production earlier this week. Many thanks and congratulations to our Developers, QA and Operations teams for building and launching this fantastic capability. And our appreciation to Webshots, Google and Photobucket for their support.

So now you can include your favorite pictures from Webshots, Picasa Web or Photobucket right into your BlueString Shows - with no need to re-upload those same images to BlueString itself.

And once you create your Shows, whether you are using media from BlueString or from any of our aggregation sites, you can then share them with your friends and family.

Better yet, click on the String It tab as you share to let your friends and family add their own images to the same Show. Tell the story of your family reunion with everyone's pictures -- it's a lot more fun! When you put in your friends' or family's e-mail addresses in the String It tab, they will receive an e-mail inviting them to watch the Show and add their own stuff to the Show as well. They can, of course, upload their own images, videos or music to BlueString, or they can include photos that they have already stored on any of our aggregation partners' sites.

So go ahead, start a String It conversation!
