MobShare / PhotosToFriends / Kuvaboxi

MobShare was a mobile picture sharing, archiving, and managing application for groups of people such as friends, family, collegues etc. The system was co-developed with Futurice who has launched their Photos To Friends service in 2005 which was based on MobShare. In 2006, Futurice released the full blown commercial version of MobShare/PhotosToFriends under the name Kuvaboxi. Currently it is one of the biggest Finnish photo sharing services.  Therefore, it can be said that MobShare has been successful both in research (e.g., ACM Multimedia 2004, MobileHCI 2005) and as a commercial prototype. Have also a look at the MobShare poster. MobShare combined the best of mobile photo blogging and personal image management by enabling immediate sharing of photos, sharing of photos in an organized manner, controlled and targeted sharing, as well as discussing, combining, and comparing own and shared photos. MobShare generates picture metadata by leveraging contextual information and user behavior.
