Exciting news – today, we are announcing the launch of LiveShare 1.2, a new and hyper-personal way to communicate with your friends across mobile and web through live, shared group photo streams. This is a major upgrade to the last version, which limited you to sharing in public events. LiveShare 1.2 lets you create streams on the fly, make them as private or public as you want, and see the stream update in real time with the photos from all the people in the group. Whether it’s seeing what your best friends are doing right now, capturing a day at the park with the kids, or a bachelor party that needs to stay in Vegas, LiveShare gives you one photo stream for each event, rather than multiple albums in different places for different people.
We’ve been working on this release for a while, and having a ton of fun testing it internally. We are really looking forward to hearing about what you start using it for! Get LiveShare for free on iPhone, Android, or Windows Phone 7, and check out our awesome website at www.liveshare.com.

I am pretty sure that you know how frustrating and time consuming it can be to find and share photos from a party that you have attended with friends. But now with our new version of LiveShare, the days of picture hunting through emails, social networks and photo websites are over! Now, you can create a new group stream anytime, anywhere, and invite friends who would be interested in sharing or viewing the photos together in a small group. Only the people that you invited to your stream can add photos, which can be viewed and saved by all friends who are part of the stream.

LiveShare is much more than a photo app, it’s a way to share flexibly in the context of a myriad of different situations, depending on who you are sharing with, what you’re sharing and where you are. Nothing else out there makes group sharing of photos this flexible and simple.

And for those with Android phones, LiveShare offers a cool plus: You can share your photos directly from the Gallery out to your selected group of friends by creating a new LiveShare stream or adding your Gallery pictures in an existing one.

We hope you get as excited as we are and try LiveShare! You will see, once you’ve tried it, nothing will stop you from livesharing. Have fun and share your thoughts about LiveShare 1.2 by leaving a comment below or sending us an email.

Today, we are announcing new Liveshare releases for Android and Web!

With the new Liveshare for Android version 1.1, you now have an extensive list of events (provided by Eventful) happening all over, so you can see what’s happening – at the speed of life. Use Liveshare to discover cool events that are happening near you for the week and see the photos unfold from those events in real time! The location radius, time duration, and category of event can be adjusted to show you more or fewer events by selecting “Options”. You can also select the “Map” button to view events near you by location. The iPhone version 1.1 will be available soon – if you’d like to be notified when it is available, sign up here.

Liveshare also now syncs with a brand new web experience. Check out the new www.liveshare.com, which includes all the events happening all over and updates the photo streams in real time! This is the place to easily organize all of your events – you can follow photo streams, share them to Facebook or Twitter, download photos and more. If you have a friend that doesn’t have Liveshare, but you want to show them photos from the awesome concert you went to – this is place to go.

We are also working on a complimentary iPad app that will be a viewing companion to Liveshare, designed to let you explore all the Liveshare events and photos in a very cool visual way. You can sign up here to be notified when it is available!

These first releases will be primarily focused on bay area events and will be expanded to other areas.

Happy Livesharing!
