Service providers can perfectly present their profiles at blauarbeit.de Germany´s leading reverse service auction portal. First full-service integration of imageloop technology into a 3rd party portal thanks to new API.

Cologne, Germany (PRWEB) June 13, 2007 -- imageloop.com the leading European online slideshow service and blauarbeit.de, Germany´s leading reverse service auction market are mashing up their technologies in order to offer enhanced features for their users. It is the first time, that imageloop users can directly create slideshows on a partner´s portal without the need to switch to the imageloop platform. The technical base for this full integration is a new API (API = Application Programming Interface), which allows the integration of the complete slideshow functionality directly into the user profiles of blauarbeit.de.

Together with imageloop, the auction portal for services can offer a powerful tool for service providers to easily present references of jobs they have done for former customers. On the other hand the bidder gets a decent insight into the service providers´ qualities.

With the blauarbeit integration imageloop enlarges its target group towards business and service portals. In addition, the integration of imageloop´s entire picture uploading process opens new perspectives for future cooperations.

"Just choose photos, upload them, create your slideshow and there it is, the perfect presentation of a service provider. There is no easier way!", says Robert Stupp, CTO of imagelooop GmbH. And Stupp continues: "blauarbeit.de is the first German community managing the entire photo content of its users with imageloop´s Web 2.0 service. The German portal is following the US trend, set by social networks such as Facebook or MySpace, to expand own functionalities by using technically advanced services. Internal resources are no longer blocked for costly software development."

Ramin Ziai, Co-CEO of blauarbeit.de says: "The new picture galleries expand our service auction service and increase the security for service buyers. The cooperation with imageloop represents the first step in our strategic opening towards other Web 2.0 services."
