Sharpcast

Sharpcast is a photo storage and publication service. They created a desktop application that allows users to upload their photo's to central storage. Photo's can subsequently be viewed from the web and mobile devices. They promise some API, so that other applications can upload and download photo's as well. I hope they will make a plugin for iPhoto.

It nice to see that a service also thinks of local support on the desktop. And the availability of API's will allow other image applications to integrate with their service.

Hi there,

This is Gibu Thomas, CEO of Sharpcast.  Thanks for the entry.  I am glad you appreciate the local support on the desktop.  The user experience difference is pretty dramatic when an application makes it irrelevant whether you are online or offline—the hard part is that until you use it, you don’t know what you are missing.

We obviously strongly believe in the vision of a completely seamless experience across all your devices and the web and we leverage our own “push” synchronization platform to make sure you never have to do the same thing twice. 

Sharpcast is a totally new experience for consumers, one that makes the local PC and web experience completely seamless and provides a one-stop shop for backup, sharing, syncing and automatic anywhere-access.  It goes much beyond Photos—Photos is the first application to seed the market with this new experience.

Yes, we absolutely plan to publish our APIs and the iPhoto uploader is imminent

Thanks for keeping tabs on us. Please check out the product and send us any feedback.  There is a new version coming in a week or so with a lot more improvements.

Cheers,

Gibu Thomas

I forgot to mention in my post that I miss a MacOSX version of the Sharpcast Client. However a Flickr plugin for iPhoto on the Mac would probably sufficient.
