HUDSON, Ohio, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital imaging has gone mainstream and the main target is -- Moms. Not surprising, considering they have always had the role as memory keepers for the family.

Moms love their digital cameras, but they need help getting beyond the tech hurdle of working with computers to enjoy those digital files. Moms would agree that they don't care about the pixels, they just want the pictures. StoryLife.com places the power of digital imaging directly in the hands of the Mom -- where she can easily create photo cards and complete scrapbook pages with a few clicks of the mouse.

"It is time to get those pictures off your hard drive and start enjoying them! Your kids deserve to have their own shoeboxes full of pictures of their childhood," says Cynthia Heigold, founder of StoryLife.

"Think of them as your 'new negatives' -- the easiest way to make sure you can get a new print in the future. Secondly, start enjoying your pictures again," Heigold says.

Rememble Helps You Remember Everything

Rememble is designed to help you organize your life by adding notes,
images, audio, video, e-mails, blog entries, and more to your
"membeline." (more on that later!) It also lets you view all of your
added items on a timeline that will help you remember both what you did
and what you need to do. You can even import images from Flickr and
posts from Twitter. The app is one part organizational tool, one part
digital scrapbook.

Some people will likely use Rememble in order to simply aggregate all of
their photos and media, and that's fine. As you add items, called
"membles" to your "membleline," you can see the items, make comments on
them, and find out when they were added. Because you can add items from
your cell phone and via e-mail, the service is designed to allow you to
instantly add memories and events so you can come back to them later.

Rememble's designers wanted to create a service that was less a dumping
ground for videos, blog posts, and photos, and more of an organized
timeline that can help you create a digital "autobiography" that you can
review at any time. Go back to photos of an old friend and you can find
out the last time you viewed them, and you can make comments about what
you did and where you were. Granted, it'll require using the service
frequently to get the "digital scrapbook" feeling that the designers
were going for, but Rememble accounts are free, allowing you to upload
90 membles per month, including 30 videos. The service is still in beta,
and when it goes public you'll be able to upgrade your account and add
more media.

Rememble has a social networking aspect as well. You can make friends
with other users, share your membles, and keep track of the membles they
add. If your friends don't use Rememble, you can invite them, or
generate mini-membles that you can add to outside blogs and sites, like
MySpace or Facebook profiles.

Rememble is a new service with a broad mission, and it has the tools to
help you do whatever you want with it. You can make it a mini blogging
platform and organizational tool, or you can use it as storage for all
of your photos and video. You can use Rememble to scrapbook or catalog
the things you do--something a bit more tangible and interactive than a
blog. Right now there are just under 1,500 people using the service, so
the community is very small, but as it grows, I can see people using
this both as a way to organize themselves and a way to reach out to
others.

I was searching for interesting DigiScrap software to review and I saw that one of the pages in ASk.com had the word "hacked" on it. Sure enough when I visited it, the word "hacked" as displayed in the DigitalScrapbookDesign.com website.

Well just goes to show how important strong security testing and software is needed if you want to survive the digital safari. :)

Funny that a "hack" is sometimes what you can call a digiscrapbook. The best kind of artful hack there is.
