WARNER BROS. TECHNICAL OPERATIONS LAUNCHES OUTMYWINDOW(TM) A PRIVATE PHOTO SHARING SERVICE
ALL-IN-ONE CAMERA APP AND WEB SERVICE THAT GIVES CONSUMERS A MORE PERSONAL WAY TO SHARE AND SAVE THEIR PHOTOS
BURBANK, CALIF., July 19, 2012 – Warner Bros. Technical Operations today launched outmywindow(TM) (www.outmywindow.com), a new all-in-one private photo sharing and storage service that gives consumers complete control over their photos and who views them. outmywindow allows consumers to easily take photos and selectively share them with specific friends and family through one-click permission-based albums set by the user. All photos are easy to access and manage from any outmywindow compatible device, including smart phones, tablets, computers, select internet-connected TVs and digital photo frames.
Features include a unique photo timeline automatically generated using the date the photo was taken and a stylish mosaic interface to view your collection, providing a simple way to organize and share photo memories across all kinds of devices. Consumers can import existing photo collections from popular photo sharing sites and libraries on their computers, compatible smart phones and tablets. In addition, they can also capture and post new photos directly from their compatible camera-enabled smart phones and tablets.
Unlike other services, outmywindow maintains the native resolution of the photos so no matter what device, the image is pristine. In addition, outmywindow allows consumers to receive real-time alerts so they never miss seeing the latest images when they are posted from friends and family. The service also organizes photos so consumers can flip back to specific dates to pinpoint photos that were previously added.
"We see photos being another form of entertainment that - much like the content we create - evoke a strong emotional reaction from consumers," said Darcy Antonellis, Chief Technology Officer and President of Warner Bros. Technical Operations. "outmywindow was created to give consumers an easy-to-use service to capture, share and manage photos with their closest family and friends in a direct and personal way - across multiple devices and screens. While outmywindow allows consumers to access their existing lists of friends and family from a variety of social networks, they no longer have to worry about the complexities of privacy settings or inadvertently broadcasting a photo to people they don't know."
Lisa Stone, co founder and CEO of BlogHer saw outmywindow and noted, “outmywindow provides a personal, private and flexible photo sharing service for women in our community who share everything from pictures of their kids to photos for their portfolio. This app accommodates the whole woman in a way few one-size-fits-all web services do.”
outmywindow is also partnering with the non-profit organization Kidsave – whose mission is to create change so that forgotten orphans and foster kids find families. outmywindow lets Kidsave share photos with interested families in a closed network so these photos are not just posted online and available for everyone to see.
“We count on outmywindow to share photos with trusted host families,” said Randi Thompson, CEO and Co-Founder of Kidsave. “Creating connection with potential parents is critical, and now we have a private and more personal way to develop that first step in introducing potential families.” For more information about Kidsave, please visit http://www.kidsave.org/
outmywindow is available for Apple iPhone(R), iPad(R), iPod touch(R), Google TV(TM) and the Web, and coming soon to the Yahoo TV Widget. It can be downloaded from the iTunes store via: http://bit.ly/Mx96k6. The service offers users up to 5 GB of storage space, unlimited bandwidth and supports photos of up to 10 MB in size.
