picplz Under New Management!
Over the past 18 months the team at Mixed Media Labs has built picplz from nothing to a service used by millions of people around the world. Today picplz is the best place to share your pictures across iOS, Android devices, on the web, and through applications built on top of the picplz API. The Mixed Media Labs team, however, is most passionate about building new products from scratch, so today they are announcing the launch of a new service for mobile application developers called app.net. To focus on this new project and make sure that picplz gets the most love going forward, the team has decided to pass the picplz torch on to the management team at Sporcle.
Wait! What’s a Sporcle? And what are you going to do to my picplz? At Sporcle we operate a platform for publishing trivia games through our web site and suite of mobile applications. Our platform consists of over 200k trivia games that have been played over 575 million times. Don’t worry, we’re not going to turn picplz into a trivia game and all of your pictures are safe! As new owners of picplz, we will continue to operate picplz as it is today and we are committed to building more features on top of its strong core. Support for the picplz API and the broader development community will also continue to be a high priority. We’re excited about what the future holds and have big plans for the direction of the product.
In the next few weeks, you’ll see updates to the picplz Android and iPhone mobile applications that add some features and address issues that have come from our users. Your feedback continues to be extremely important to us, so please write to us anytime.
