Developed by engineers formerly of NASA's Jet Propulsion Labs, SnapNow's patented solution lets consumers snap a picture with a camera phone, send it to SnapNow via MMS or email, and receive an immediate mobile web-page in return. Using SnapNow's platform, advertisers, media owners and marketers can make images interactive and add mobile capabilities to existing marketing campaigns, while consumers can quickly and easily search the mobile web using images rather than text.
