Sharpcast Photos Helps You Sync & Share

Sharpcast wants to make photo sharing and sycning easier. Unlike Flickr, which exists soley as a website (though one with awesome features), Sharpcast Photos has a website, a desktop application, and optionally syncs photos to mobile devices. Flickr users can use an uploader tool to drag and drop photos to be uploaded to Flickr.com. Similarly, Sharpcast users can drap and drop photos into the desktop app; by using this app or by uploading picutres online, and the photos will be synced to your mobile, your computer, and online. To share an album with a friend, you just drag the album to your buddy list. The beauty of Sharpcast is the mobile syncing - something no one has done this smoothly before. Still, until I need my 100 pictures of Sophie on my cell, I’m sticking with Flickr for now.

In the future Sharpcast plans on releasing products that will sync calendars, contacts, and documents just like it’s currently doing with photos — now that may interest me. Especially if they could tie it in with my Google Desktop tool that let’s me search across all the computers I own…because god knows where I saved that file. Sharpcast is Windows-only at the moment and is in "alpha." (Flickr is in gamma!)
