Different than other photo-sharing sites and social networks

Mobile-dedicated communities have emerged for chat, flirting, and dating, but the content and interactions on these sites appeal to a limited demographic. "There is a strong need for a simple solution that appeals to mobile consumers who want a friendly photo-sharing destination. SnapMyLife uses scalable filtering technology to eliminate risque content, fostering a community centered on a wide variety of user-generated photos and media," said Jill Aldort, Senior Analyst, Consumer Research, Yankee Group.

In addition to providing a great experience for a wide range of audiences and advertisers, SnapMyLife serves the large, global market of consumers who use the mobile phone as their principal access to the Internet. "Internet-based social networks and photo-sharing sites have recently introduced mobile uploading features, but have only scratched the surface," said George Grey, CEO and founder, SnapMyLife. "Many of SnapMyLife's early users prefer to use the mobile-focused SnapMyLife site over services that provide their 'full-experience' on desktop interfaces."

People are using SnapMyLife to keep in touch with friends, colleagues, and family through pictures and to discover photos of interest from around the world. SnapMyLife also enables media/entertainment companies, celebrities, and consumer brands to entertain and engage with mobile consumers through behind- the-scenes pictures, user-generated photos, commentary, and promotions.

SnapMyLife is available now to users worldwide on mobile phones at http://www.snapmylife.com.
