C
I Host Enhances e-Memories Program to Empower Digital
Camera Buffs; Photographers Upload Shots to Websites
On the Go [13th November 2003]
BEDFORD, Texas, Nov 13, 2003 /PRNewswire
via COMTEX/ -- C I Host, a global leader in Web hosting,
Internet infrastructure and software development, has
completely retooled and re-launched its e-Memories software
to capitalize on the holiday surge in digital photography.
Christopher Faulkner, CEO of C I Host,
said, "e-Memories now can transform a photographer
into a `virtual media mogul.' This is more than an on-line
scrapbook. Version two is an on-line media center with
streaming video, blogging, family TV, digital family
trees, e-mail, slide shows, postcards, chatrooms, birthday
reminders and more."
Experts estimate the digital camera
market is a $4.5 billion industry. However less than
15 percent of camera owners have experimented with on-line
slide shows and similar products, researchers say.
"Any one of these features alone
could be priced higher than where we have positioned
the entire e-Memories `bundle,'" Faulkner said.
"The value of the product and the ease of use should
attract many holiday shoppers hoping to complement their
new digital cameras."
In addition, a person armed with a digital
photo-equipped cell phone with Internet service literally
can up load shots to their Web site on the go.
"With digital photography, people
don't buy or process film, so they are shooting more
frames," Faulkner said. "e-Memories is a great
way to display their talents."
