Everyone can tell their stories and create beautiful multimedia scrapbook because Scrapblog™ announced the new free web-based multimedia scrapbook authoring software service. , Scrapblog was in development for over two years lets everyday people mix their photos, videos, audio, text and other creative elements to create multimedia scrapbooks called scrapblogs. Scrapbloggers can manage content from their computer or their favorite social media sites including YouTube, Photobucket, Flickr, Yahoo! Photos, and Webshots. Scrapblogs can be shared with just a few friends or the entire world; currently Scrapblog supports direct publishing to Blogger, Typepad, Wordpress, Flickr, MySpace, Facebook and other popular social networking platforms. When saving their first scrapblog, Scrapbloggers receive a unique URL, where he or she can display their Scrapblogs in the same way Flickr users manage photos. Like Flickr, the Scrapblog URL can be kept private or made public. You do not need to register in order to start creating scrapblogs.
Carlos Garcia, co-founder and CEO of Scrapblog, stated: "We believe the next wave of user-generated content will be remixed and designed online. Scrapblog is leading the way for new generation of online services that will unleash new forms of creative media that have not previously existed. The creativity and storytelling that traditional scrapbookers enjoy is now available to the online generation. We made it drag-and-drop-easy so that our friends and family could express themselves online without any need for technical know-how."
With one of the provided themes you can start creating a scrapblog. Everybody can add stickers and balloon comments to add context to their creations. A single page may contain photos that become alive with embedded video or audio clips. Users can also upload their own creative elements or add an entire theme of their own, perfect for anything from a road trip or holiday gathering.
Garcia added: The timing is perfect for us to welcome outside capital. In Longworth, we found a venture partner who shares our vision of where social media is headed and the importance of 'design online' tools."
Marshal Kirkpatrick in his review of Scrapblog on TechCrunch noted: "The amount of smooth control over layout that Scrapblog allows is really impressive. It's a tool that will appeal beyond the usual scrapbook demographic and could be of great use in making things like artist portfolios and online graphic presentations. Scrapblog is lots of fun… It's like having Photoshop Elements on the web."
