Fotobay.com’s Calypso Technology Brings Online Photo Sharing to a Whole New Level of Personalized Experience

BURLINGAME, Calif., April 12 /PRNewswire/—Fotobay.com’s announces the public release of “Calypso,” the revolutionary technology that allows anyone to create the ultimate online photo album experience. With Calypso, the end user can create their own personalized Cool Objects to add to their albums. Cool Objects can be anything such as personal handwriting captions, personal sketches or drawings, animated objects with sound, or intelligent objects that interact with the viewers. No longer are the Cool Objects limited to the collection offered by Fotobay. This technology sets your imagination free and brings new dimensions of creativity and fun to experiencing your photo memories.

“On top of our current Cool Album technology, Calypso takes online photo sharing to a new level of photo story telling and expression. You can now truly create your own unique photo viewing experience,” said Casey Chu, the Director of Sales and Marketing. “Our Cool Object Development Kit (http://www.fotobay.com/calypso) is easy to use and simple Cool Objects can be created in minutes. An example of what you can create can be seen at http://www.fotobay.com/coolobject.”

“In addition, Cool Objects created by our end users can be shared with the entire Fotobay community. That means Fotobay users can not only share their unique photo experiences with their friends, they can now share their novel Cool Object creations with the World,” added Casey Chu. “Fotobay continues to push the envelope of what can be done simply using your web browser. We bring to the general consumer photo story telling capabilities that was once the domain of web developers and programmers. Now, anyone can enjoy rich interactive experiences using simple points and clicks.”

To usher in the age of interactive photo albums, Fotobay is giving away 50MB of free photo storage to create and share Cool Albums. For more information, please visit http://www.fotobay.com/ .
