Technology

At DigitalPost Interactive, they've created a powerful, re-brandable platform that gives today’s companies instant access to the $20 billion digital media-sharing market with little IT effort. The company has built the CORE Media-Sharing Platform like a series of technological "building blocks" that companies can stack together to create their very own, world-class website service. In short, CORE gives companies a turnkey way to delve into the media-sharing pie with no up front cost and little IT effort. Now, companies who are the gateway to millions of digital media-producing consumers such as retailers, theme parks, even camera and computer manufacturers can further monetize their established client-customer relationship.

How They're Different

The DGLP platform is distinct from many popular "applications" such as Shutterfly or EasyShare Gallery as a result of their modular and interoperable architecture, and extreme flexibility. Imagine a solution that lets you pick and choose the best of today’s video, photo, and social networking sites and put them into a single package with your brand on it. Then imagine you could have that solution deployed in a matter of days, and with little or no development costs or IT effort. This is the world of DigitalPost Interactive.

The company's unique, turnkey solution empowers virtually any company to offer its own digital media-sharing service that not only matches those of today’s most successful players, but surpasses them. Companies of all sizes and industries are turning to DigitalPost Interactive because quite simply, there is no other digital media uploading and sharing experience that compares to this product. The ease of use is unparalleled, the level of elegance is beyond reproach, and the user interface is so intuitive it has been compared to a "Fisher Price" product in terms of its ease-of-use.

Who Can Benefit

Our platform gives companies like camera manufacturers, retailers, theme parks, sports teams, travel companies, and more the ability to re-claim the digital wallet share that has been going to companies like Shutterfly or Kodak EasyShare, or others. It’s a perfect, low-risk, high-reward compliment for companies whose customers are naturally producing digital media each and every day.

This platform gives these companies the ability to better serve these customers while generating additional revenues. The customers get the ultimate, permanent place to store and share their lifetime of memories, and company gets a unique branding tool, more visibility and monthly revenues from subscriptions to this high-end product, and sales from prints, T-shirts, mugs, etc., that can be purchased directly through the family websites. It’s the perfect win-win situation that levels the playing field for all companies who can benefit from the digital media-sharing experience.

Internet and Image-based Technology Market

Internet and image-based technologies are helping consumers create a variety of content that includes photos and videos. These consumers are also seeking highly functional, online destinations where they can display, protect and preserve their content.

Creating Keepsakes Magazine estimates that consumers spend $18 billion annually on greeting cards, scrapbooks and photos in physical/digital form. The worldwide market for digital photo processing services is forecast to grow from approximately $38 billion in 2005 to $107 billion in 2009. The U.S. digital photo processing market is expected to grow from approximately $10 billion in 2005 to $30 billion in 2009. In addition, industry experts predict that the value of photos ordered over the Internet will grow from approximately $424 million in 2005 to approximately $1.9 billion in 2009.

Demand for DGLP's platforms and online tools is growing as a result of:

  • The proliferation of digital cameras and camcorders
  • Consumer interest in securely sharing digital content on the Internet
  • Consumer demand for a single accessible online location where user-generated content can be permanently stored
  • Increasing consumer participation in online communities
  • Rapid growth in the number of high-speed broadband Internet subscribers

Internet penetration

Global Internet penetration rates reached 18.9% at year-end 2007 and reflect expanding demand for high-speed broadband connectivity. The global Internet subscriber base is expected to grow 7.8% annually between 2006 and 2011. The number of Internet users has already exceeded one billion worldwide and was recently estimated at 1.24 billion by Internet World Stats. The number of Internet users worldwide is forecast to reach two billion by 2011.

Internet penetrate rates in the U.S. were estimated at 68.1% in 2006, which was higher than the overall 58.6% penetration rate for the world's developed economies. U.S. penetration rates were forecast to increase to 70.2% at year-end 2007. Future gains are likely to result from the large-scale rollout of WiFi, mobile broadband (WiMAX) and broadband services in the U.S. market.

Broadband use

Increasing broadband penetration has facilitated the rapid deployment of IP services such as voice, video and data. Broadband is often called high-speed Internet because of its high rate of data transmission. The number of broadband connections is increasing as more users are demanding high speeds for data-rich applications such as peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems, downloading music and games, video on demand and voice-over-Internet phone service.

At the end of the first quarter of 2007, the total number of global broadband subscribers was estimated at around 300 million. Over the past year, the number of broadband subscribers in the 30 OECD 30 countries has risen 24% to 221 million (June 2007). This means that 18.8 of every 100 residents had a broadband connection, up from 15.1 in June 2006(1).

The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) estimates that the total U.S. broadband subscriber base will approach 57 million in 2008, up from 32.5 million in 2004. According to TIA, this is particularly impressive growth given the fact that there were only 5 million broadband subscribers in 2001.

Digital camera demand

Industry sources estimate there were approximately 58 million U.S. households with both Internet connectivity and a digital camera at year-end 2007. Industry group PMA indicates that sales of digital cameras exceeded 25 million units in both 2006 and 2007. As shown in the tables below, digital cameras are driving overall cameras sales. The camera industry is rapidly completing the migration from analog to digital technology. Moreover, market share for high-end cameras as a percentage of overall camera sales is increasing.

Digital cameras users are currently capturing 25 million to 50 million images per week. The complexity of digital images is increasing because of the proliferation of high-end multi-pixel cameras; more complex digital images require more storage space on the Internet. More than 35% of the digital cameras sold in 2007 were high-end 8+ megapixel cameras.

Internet user-generated content market

User-generated content sites and social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook and Bebo were among the fastest growing Internet destinations in 2006 and 2007. Their growth is attracting the attention of major players such as Google and Microsoft. Google acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion in November 2006 and Microsoft acquired a 1.6% share in Facebook for $240 million in October 2007.

Leading online research service Hitwise estimated that Web 2.0 websites accounted for 12% of all U.S. web activity for the week ending April 7, 2007. In the last two years, traffic on Web 2.0 sites has grown 688%. Web 2.0 websites such as YouTube, Flickr and Wikipedia have rapidly become part of the mainstream culture. According to Hitwise, the participatory aspect of Web 2.0 is still in a very nascent stage and will fuel the proliferation of additional user-generated content sites.

Nielsen/NetRatings indicated that user-generated content sites, platforms for photo-sharing, video-sharing and blogging represented five of the top 10 fastest growing Web brands in July 2006. Image hosting site ImageShack ranked No. 4 among the fastest growing Web brands. Its audience increased 233% year-over-year from 2.3 million to 7.7 million. Heavy.com, a video-sharing site, captured the No. 5 spot with 213% year-over-year growth from 965,000 to 3.0 million unique visitors. Photo sharing site Flickr followed at No. 6. Its audience grew 201% year-over-year from 2.1 million to 6.3 million unique visitors.

eMarketer forecasts the number of user-generated content creators in the U.S. will rise from 77 million in 2007 to 108 million in 2012. The number of user-generated content consumers is projected to increase from 94 million in 2007 to 130 million in 2012.
