I've been lucky enough to get in the alpha/beta of Loom - I've got to say I love it; great having my photos everywhere, not having to have them all on my mac (damn ssd's!) and knowing they're somewhere safe.

Very happy to have you!

How is Loom different/better than the other offerings out there?

saturdaysaint• 13 years ago

Exactly. Especially since it's in a place where %90+ of the readership has a Dropbox account (which is more than adequate for at least smartphone phots/videos), I'd hoped to understand how this differentiates itself.

I can explain difference between Loom and Dropbox. I am not affiliated to Loom, I am just a beta user. I am also a payed Dropbox customer.

Dropbox is great for general purpose files, and files you edit (doc's, pdf's, etc). Is just like a general purpose folder that is synced to the cloud.

Loom is focused only on media content (photos and videos). As opposed to Dropbox, were you navigate files and see pictures thumbnails, Loom organizes pictures in albums and displaying them etc is awesome. Also sharing pictures with other's is very well thought out, you can easily share 100+ pictures in an instant.

I would say Loom is like the iTunes of Pictures. Dropbox is like iCloud.

Yeah, it sounds like a feeble flickr/dropbox/minus mashup.

Until i clicked the link i thought i was going to find out some behind the scenes info about the 1990 videogame. That was a fun game.

DigitalJack• 13 years ago

I had the same thought.

Yup, I keep thinking that on every post about this software!

I was really hoping to see this guy explaining loom:

Aww, really though this was about Loon.

Are the photos kept on your hard drives? Would be nice if they could be stored on S3 or Goggle Drive for piece if mind.
