Moment.me Launches Moment BOOSTR for Live Group Moments
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- Moment.me, a company that offers the easiest way to capture and share an experience in real time, today launched Moment BOOSTR, a new way for users to create live group moments through direct access to Moment.me’s proprietary smart-matching technology. With Moment BOOSTR, users can tap into public photos that people around them are sharing on other social apps and networks, and hand pick favorite shots to enhance their own moment.
Moment.me was designed to bring together the public photos, tweets and videos that people at live events post to their social networks and present them in interactive and ever-evolving shared albums called “moments”. With Moment BOOSTR, users can still actively start and name a group moment, add images directly from their mobile phone, and invite friends to contribute their photos, tweets and videos. However, users can now give their personal moments a boost by adding the most exciting and relevant photos that people around them are sharing in real time.
“Our vision has always been a world where people can break through the boundary of a single viewpoint for their shared experiences, and Moment BOOSTR takes our mission to redefine the way our users capture their important life moments to a new level,” said CEO and Co-Founder Ronny Elkayam. “Users are no longer limited to their own viewpoint, but can now enjoy the full potential of creating shared albums with live group moments.”
Moment.me has seen a significant increase in users since introducing its web platform and iOS app in September 2012, followed by its highly anticipated Android app release in February 2013. The company’s rapid acceleration includes doubling its user base month-over-month for the past five consecutive months. To date, the platform has generated more than 400 million moments and hosts in excess of five billion photos—with 50 million-plus new images added daily.
Added Mr. Elkayam, “Some of our most eye-catching moments to date have come from the world’s most popular concerts, festivals and sporting events, and these moments have attracted and fueled our fast-growing global community that continues to return day-after-day for live social coverage of these events. As our community continues to expand, we’re working overtime to enhance the technology and keep an open dialogue with users about how they want to see the platform evolve. Moment BOOSTR was a product of this feedback and has the potential to completely change the way people capture and share their social experiences.”
Moment.me respects and enforces the privacy settings of all social networks from which images are sourced. Only individual users can view their private images, only friends registered to Moment.me can view ‘friends only’ images, and all Moment.me users can view public images.
Moment BOOSTR is available in the Moment.me mobile app, which can be downloaded for free in the Google Play Store for Android, or the Apple App Store for iPhone and on the web at http://www.moment.me. Users need a valid Facebook, Twitter or Google+ account to join Moment.me.
