MSN UK (영국)가 유료서비스를 시작하면서 몇 개의 강력한 사진 관련 기능을 추가했습니다.
- Photo Plus: Photo Story Lite를 이용한 앨범 만들기
- Photo Share : 사진 공유
- Photo Swap: 사진 교환
이 중 Photo Plus의 기능은 MS가 예전부터 연구해 온 것을 구현해 놓았더군요. Wallop에서도 역시 구현중인 것 같습니다.

PhotoStory: Preserving emotional content when storytelling with photos and video
People love taking and sharing photos–over 200 million photos are taken per day around the world. Recent advances in technology have combined to make the production, archiving, and storage of digital photos possible, yet most software fails to address the principle reason that people share photos in the first place: to tell personal stories. The PhotoStory application is designed to address that need. A key goal of Photostory is to allow novice end-users to quickly and easily share photo-based stories with people in a way that is simpler and more emotionally compelling than a static slide show with text.
FastForward: Storytelling and extending/compressing time
Home videos are notorious for being long and boring. Although often perceived as an editing problem, most professional video editors cannot make compelling movies from most home videos due to the lack of proper video coverage. People often leave out important parts (you don't see me preparing for my trip, I just show up at the Eiffel Tower) or spend too much time on something boring (endless footage of the kids). The Fast Forward project enables the user to share a story captured by a home video, by extending time (frozen/looping video) and compressing time (fast forwarding) in a way that doesn't interfere with the emotional content of the story.
