A method for sharing digital images over at least one network comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a network service over the network;
- (b) permitting at least one share group to access a network server via the network service, the at least one share group including a plurality of members;
- (c) associating a device with each of the plurality of members, each device in communication with the server, the device of one or more members of each of the at least one share group being a continuously operating display, each of the plurality of members of the at least one share group capable of being a sharing member and a receiving member,
- (d) allowing each sharing member to share digital files with the receiving members of the at least one share group by uploading from the device associated with the sharing member at least one digital file to the network service;
- (e) downloading from the network service the at least one digital file to the devices associated with the receiving members of the at least one share group;
- and
- (f) automatically displaying the at least one digital file on the continuously operating displays associated with the receiving members of the at least one share group.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon which, when executed by a digital processing system, causes the system to perform a method comprising the steps of:
- (a) permitting at least one share group to access a network server via a network service, the at least one share group including a plurality of members;
- (b) associating a device with each of the plurality of members, each device in communication with the server, the device of one or more members of each of the at least one share group being a continuously operating display, each of the plurality of members of the at least one share group capable of being a sharing member and a receiving member,
- (c) allowing each sharing member to share digital files with the receiving members of the at least one share group by uploading from the device associated with the sharing member at least one digital file to the network service;
- (d) downloading from the network service the at least one digital file to the devices associated with the receiving members of the at least one share group;
- and
- (e) automatically displaying the at least one digital file the continuously operating displays associated with the receiving members of the at least one share group.
