Developed by Imeem execs Dalton Caldwell and Bryan Berg, Picplz aims to be a dead simple way for users to share the photos they take on the phone on the web. Pictures taken with picplz are synced to your profile on picplz.com and tagged with your location and place. And you can post directly from the app to Facebook, Twitter, and can also check-in to Foursquare when you take a picture. The app also allows you to follow other users’ photo streams, similar to the Twitter model.
The startup initially launched an Android app in May and then rolled out an iPhone version in August. Between the two apps, Picplz has seen over 100,000 downloads.
PicPlz most recently rolled out updated apps with the ability to add special affects to pictures, a new UI and improved photo upload speeds.
From the announcement, it looks like we can expect more to come from Mixed Media Labs. It’s unclear what that is at the moment, but we’ll keep you updated on any new developments.
