Memeo Survey Explains Why Digital Photos Are Never Shared
ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Memeo announces the results of a market survey to determine how
and why people share photos.

   News Facts:

   --  In a recent survey of families with digital cameras, 85
        percent of the survey participants said that it was important
        or extremely important to share digital photos with family and
        friends. Yet, 55 percent of survey respondents said they felt
        guilty for not sharing more photos with friends and family.

   --  When asked why they did not share photos more often, 68
        percent identified the process as being too time consuming.

   --  Memeo recently released its latest photo sharing software
        known as Memeo Share, which provides the simplest way for
        families and friends to exchange photos and videos via the
        internet. Memeo Share is a free service that can be utilized
        by PC, Mac, and iPhone users. Families find value in the
        ability to exchange large files such as videos and photos
        privately without the hassle of resizing, uploading or
        emailing them. The software is completely automatic and users
        can privately swap content. Read about Memeo Share's latest
        company news. Download the latest version of Memeo Share.

   --  The Memeo customer survey consisted of 234 respondents between
        the ages of 30 and 45 who have children between the ages of 0
        and 5. Everyone that participated in the survey currently
        owned a digital camera.

   "Even though cameras are one of the most popular consumer
electronics items, sharing pictures is still a challenge for the
average person," said Hong Bui, CEO and co-founder of Memeo.
"Individuals continue to struggle with finding the best way to share
the memories they capture with the people that are most important to
them."

   "Busy families finally have a simple way to share memories with
each other. It's a lot like email, but more simple and automatic,"
said Hong Bui, CEO and founder of Memeo. "Today's version of Memeo
Share includes new features that further create a true sense of
community, making sharing personal again. To make things more
