Alpha Launched
Today we flipped the first switch. The alpha version of FocalPower went live with invites to the initial group of alpha users being sent out. So, if you applied for the alpha, check you in-box!
We had such a terrific response to our call for alpha users that we quickly used up all of our alpha user accounts. We regret that we couldn’t invite everyone. If additional accounts become available, we will invite additional applicants.
The FocalPower professional grade photo hosting platform is designed for photographers who have photos that they need to display on multiple websites or blogs. Once photos are uploaded, they can be shared on multiple sites using our photo sharing widgets. The goal is to reduce the work load of photographers by allowing them to upload their photos once and then control where and how their images are displayed. The platform gives more control to photographers by letting them share different groups of images on different sites (i.e., professional portfolios on your business’ website, examples and fun stuff on your blog, personal pictures on your family blog) while retaining a central point of control. And best of all, we fully support both EXIF and IPTC meta data; so all the work that you invested in key wording and inserting meta data in your photos are part of your work flow can be fully leveraged!
More details will be coming as we get closer to the full launch. In the meantime, I wanted to introduce the latest member of the FocalPower team…my launch companion Napoleon. He was keeping my feet company as I typed the keys that flipped that switch…
