Between digital cameras and camera-equipped cell phones, there are hundreds of millions of new digital images created each year. If you are a typical digital photo-taker then you have thousands of digital photos on your computer. And let's say you have a special occasion coming up and you are looking for good photos of a specific friend or family member... most people need to go through every folder and every photo in their collection. How inefficient is that! With Fotobounce, you can simply drag the person's icon into the photo viewer and voila - all the photos you have of that person are immediately displayed in date order. Based on feedback from our users, that feature saves a ton of time!

People are also very concerned about the privacy and security of their valuable digital memories. Recent press about Facebook privacy policies have not helped to alleviate these concerns. With Fotobounce you can create a private photo sharing network. Think "Skype for photos". People who join your network are your close friends and family, not hundreds of people that you have casually connected with on Facebook. Those close friends have access to the photos that you have specifically made available to them. When you transfer a photo between friends (which is very easy by the way) you get all of the people tags with the photo. This saves your time and everyone else in your network who grabs a copy of the photo.

With a utility like Fotobounce you can get on top of the photo management and sharing problem and stay on top!

Here are some example uses of Fotobounce:

• One or two people in each social group are usually the photo "masters" for events. Those photo masters spend time managing and tagging the photos for their social circle. Those photo masters can establish a private network of "Bouncers" containing their circle of friends and share the photos easily with those friends.
• Wedding Photography - you have photos of your wedding and need a quick way to organize them by guest. Once you have collected the digital photos from your guests and your photographer, you can load them onto one computer running Fotobounce. Fotobounce will scan the photos looking for faces. Starting with the first photo, you can start tagging the faces with names. Then you can easily create albums by group; bride side, groom side, and friends. To do that, create a group of people by highlighting the people and then clicking the icon "add to group". Once the group is created, if you click on the group icon, Fotobounce will show you all the photos with any one of the group members. Then you can select the good photos, and click the icon "create album". Name the album and then you can share with your private Fotobounce network, or upload the album to Facebook, Flickr, or AirSet, to share with your group.
  Another way to share those photos is to access them via a Blackberry or iPhone. You can show the photos to friends and family by logging into our mobile portal with your username and password. Or, you can display the photos remotely from any computer browser at your friend's house.
• Birthdays - if you know a friend with a birthday coming up; you can select the friend from your list of people. All the photos of that person are immediately displayed in the photo viewer. You can select the good photos, click on the icon "create album" and you will have an album that you can share with a private Fotobounce network, or upload to Facebook, Flickr, or AirSet, to share with your friend. You could also export those photos from Fotobounce and upload them to either of our print partners (Orange Photo or Embassy Digital), to create a beautiful photo-based product as a present.
• Dinner Parties - you have some friends coming over this Saturday night. You select some photos from a recent trip you went on with those friends and export them directly to your USB-connected photo frame. Makes the evening that much more special to have those memories on display.
• Anniversaries - you have a couple in the family (or some friend's) with an anniversary coming up. You can select the two people from your list of people. All of the photos of that couple are immediately displayed in the photo viewer. There are tabs for photos containing either or both of them. You can create an album and then share that album via Facebook, Flickr, or AirSet. You can always display an album as a slide-show presentation.
