Rochester, NY—Kodak introduced its Social Photo Album Creator for Facebook, which allows consumers to combine photos from the popular social networking site with friends and family to create one album together.
With nearly 70 percent of the more than half a billion Facebook members located in the U.S., the solution is designed to be relevant, useful and easy to use for everyone. Whether bridesmaids want to combine photos posted on Facebook from a friend’s wedding, or cousins want to share photos from their family reunion, Kodak designed the app to make it possible to collaboratively create a group album, leading to unique photo mementos of any event.
“With the new Social Photo Album Creator from Kodak, Kodak has solved the problem of consumers having to look through dozens of different Facebook friends’ albums for pictures of a particular event,” said Rolando Martinez, business manager, Retail Systems Solutions Americas, Eastman Kodak. “Not only can Facebook users invite friends to collaborate in creating and sharing one album, now they can easily tell their story by making something unique with those memories in a matter of minutes.”
Using the Social Photo Album Creator to make an album takes three steps. 1. Create an album from your current Facebook photos. 2. Invite friends and family to add their pictures to the album. 3. Visit a Kodak Picture Kiosk at a participating retailer and connect and print from a Facebook account at the kiosk. There’s no need for consumers to bring a memory card since the pictures are accessible from their Facebook account.
“Today, pictures on Facebook are only fleeting glimpses of an event, but now with our new app consumers can tell their stories collaboratively, which leverages the real strength of Facebook,” added Martinez. “We’re very proud to say that now consumers get the choice of easily making something permanent and special together—beyond simple online picture sharing—where their pictures are, right on Facebook.”
The Social Photo Album Creator application from Kodak is accessible at http://apps.facebook.com/kodak-social/, where consumers can also locate a local Kodak Picture Kiosk.
