I found out about Filmloop.com on the Guy Kawasaki blog. His VC firm invested in them and he made mention of them one day because of this new feature where you could enter a search term and the “loop” would download images and links from eBay based on what you entered. I thought that it was pretty neat so I downloaded it.
I used it to make a loop of images from the school play for my daughter to share with her friends. Then my wife is sharing it with her friends. The thing just took off. I was impressed, but saw no real use for the thing other than to share snapshots. Then I got a call from a friend.
A long time friend said that he was getting a lot of grief from one of his soccer leagues to hand over action images for the front page of their website. Naturally he didn’t want to do. I told him about this Filmloop.com. He loved the idea. He takes about 20 of the best shots each week, adds a big fat watermark and then adds them to the loop, removing some previous pictures. Moms can add comments, and yes, save the low resolution watermarked file to their desktop.
What good came of it? His online sales from the league are way up. Not quit his day job up, but up.
No, I am not suggesting that I think that everyone should use Filmloop to share images. I’m not going to start doing this, but as more and more leagues demand more and more in terms of access to image files it will be up to all of us to find a solution that works best for us while still keeping the league president happy. Just a thought.
