LOFT - Only software to allow Linux users online photo sharing .
CAMPBELL, Calif, Dec 9, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- PhotoLoft.com
(OTC Bulletin Board: LOFT), the premier photo sharing and e-commerce
Internet site, and Photodex announced today that they have developed
the technology to allow Linux desktop users to enjoy photo sharing in
the same easy manner of customers using other operating systems. The
new interface, available through CompuPic, provides Linux users a
client side application to transfer their photos from the Linux desktop
to the PhotoLoft.com online photo sharing platform.
"Virtually millions of people using the Linux Desktop had no photo
sharing option until now," said PhotoLoft.com CEO Jack Marshall. "I am
very proud that CompuPic and PhotoLoft.com are able to add value to the
Linux desktop through these innovative means."
"Sharing photos under Linux has been too difficult and confusing," said
Photodex CEO Paul Schmidt. "Using CompuPic for Linux, even novice Linux
users can quickly and easily share photos through PhotoLoft.com, and
for free."
CompuPic is currently available for Linux, Windows and Macintosh.
Macintosh support for PhotoLoft.com is in beta, and will be released in
Q1'2000.
