Just in time for the holidays and all the photo-friendly activities that come with the season, Sprint and VeriSign Messaging and Mobile Media announced today an enhancement to Sprint Picture Mail that allows Sprint customers to send digital photos and videos straight from their phones to popular social media sites, including MySpace, Photobucket and YouTube.
The Picture Mail enhancement uses the VeriSign Xoomerang platform to provide uploads from the user’s Sprint phone to a variety of social media sites. With Xoomerang, Sprint Picture Mail subscribers can easily capture and publish videos and pictures to some of their favorite destinations.
“Consumers are increasingly using their mobile devices to stay connected with their friends while on the go, and we are excited to be working with Sprint to make mobile social networking as quick and easy as possible,” said Warren Faleiro, vice president, Multimedia Applications, VeriSign Messaging and Mobile Media. “As Sprint continues to innovate and enhance its mobile offerings, Xoomerang will play a key part by enabling Sprint subscribers to publish to their favorite sites in a click of a button.”
In addition to MySpace, Photobucket and YouTube, Sprint and VeriSign also plan to add other destinations to the service in the coming months.
The Picture Mail feature for posting photos to MySpace, Photobucket, YouTube and other social media sites is available on more than 30 Sprint phones, including the popular Samsung Instinct, Rumor by LG, MOTORAZR2 by Motorola, Katana DLX by SANYO.
