Company Enhances Memory Sharing Experience by Enabling an Easy Way
for Friends, Families and Groups to Post Personal Videos
Shutterfly,
Inc. (NASDAQ:SFLY), the leading Internet-based social expression and
personal publishing service, today announced the launch of Shutterfly
Video, which makes it easy to share
video privately and safely with friends, family members and groups
on Shutterfly Share sites. Powered by Motionbox, Shutterfly Video
enables users to upload and post video clips from their digital camera
or camcorder to their own private or public Shutterfly Share sites.
“Customer feedback is critical to us as we continue to enhance our
industry leading products and services,” said Jeffrey Housenbold,
president and chief executive officer of Shutterfly. “The number one
request from customers regarding Shutterfly Share sites was video and we
are proud to partner with Motionbox to deliver this capability with
today’s announcement.”
With Shutterfly Video, users can upload and post up to 10 free video
clips to their personalized
websites. Users have the option to upgrade to a Premium video
account, which gives them unlimited video
sharing and storage at an introductory annual subscription fee of
$29.99. Premium video account users also will enjoy HD-quality playback,
higher file size limits and video downloads. All videos can be easily
shared to social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and
Blogger.
Shutterfly members have created more than one million Share sites,
making it an easy and popular way to privately connect and communicate
with family and friends. Shutterfly Share sites are a personal online
destination where members can post photos, share news, take polls,
create a community calendar, add widgets like weather and more. Because
Share sites allow members to communicate and collaborate online, they
are perfect solutions for families, sports teams, weddings, clubs,
classrooms, travelers and other groups. Share site creators control
privacy and security limits by password protecting their site and
designating whether site visitors can view, contribute to or edit the
site. Members can also post their own Shutterfly photo book creations
and visitors can download and/or order prints from the sites.
