BadBlue allows Internet access to photos, music, and other files on home PCs

BadBlue's new Personal Edition software enables home computers to share photos, music, videos and business documents, easily and quickly. BadBlue distributes media files with friends, family and colleagues - over the Internet - without the hassle or learning curve of prior sharing solutions.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 18, 2003 - Working Resources, Inc., a leading provider of file sharing and collaboration software, today announced the availability of its new Personal Edition software package. BadBlue Personal Edition enables Internet access to files by transforming a Windows computer into a powerful but friendly web server.

Offering a powerful search capability, photo-album support, thumbnail imaging, private peer-to-peer networking, password-protection, free domain-name support, and many more features, BadBlue Personal Edition is a free download on the http://badblue.com web site. With a download size of less than 500K, its small footprint ensures a rapid and painless installation process.

"BadBlue's new 'instant photo album' capability makes it easy to publish images over the Internet," stated Warren Timmer, President of Innovative Systems & Software, Inc., "you can simply share a folder of images and it renders the folder as thumbnails in an album - over the web - automatically. Combine that kind of ease of use and power features like full-text search capabilities, and we feel it has an 'out-of-the-box' advantage over any other products we've used."

"Our company became a BadBlue Certified Value-Added-Reseller because of Working Resources' willingness to listen to us and its rapid development cycles. We're extremely pleased to be able to offer branded versions of BadBlue products that are focused on making it easy to share and collaborate over the web."

"Ease of use is a major focus area for us," stated Brandt Ross, CEO of Working Resources, "with the advent of broadband, home PC users shouldn't have to upload their files to a rented server somewhere, or learn FTP, or deal with the hassle of synching up their media content on different machines. Why can't they leverage the power of their existing Internet connection? That's what BadBlue is all about and that's why we've had over half a million downloads. We're committed to the continuous improvement of our product line by listening to what our users have to tell us... and acting upon those recommendations."

BadBlue Personal Edition enables a home user to share photo albums, videos, music, and any other type of media or document, thereby taking full advantage of their Internet connection.

Especially relevant for cable, DSL and other broadband consumers, Personal Edition can turn a PC into a true web server on the Internet, complete with a free domain name. BadBlue's domain-name capability supports connections that use both static and dynamic IP addresses. Setup of a domain-name can be accomplished in a few minutes.

BadBlue's Personal Edition product is the entry-level or consumer offering, providing a rich set of features geared towards home and SOHO users. A business-focused product, BadBlue Enterprise Edition, provides additional capabilities that extend the collaborative abilities of a PC to encompass business documents and data.

Enterprise Edition can publish Office documents, spreadsheets and databases to the web with a single click. This enables distribution of data to clients that only have web browsers and do not possess copies of the Office software. Further, the Enterprise product supports full-text search, a remote SQL execution feature called LiveSQL and several other "power" features.

BadBlue Enterprise Edition is available for $59.99 per server and can be purchased on the main BadBlue web site: http://badblue.com .
