First introduced by AOL last year, BlueString is a service that offers users to create media collages with photo, video, and music components in a sort of iPhoto-meets-iMovie fashion, albeit with a more simple set of controls to mold and edit one’s mashups. The ability to use BlueString to easily share such creations is certainly its strongest selling point. And because it incorporates a number of features of AOL’s Xdrive online storage service, BlueString can double as a cloud-based media management utility.[img src="http://sale-online.click/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/photos.jpg" caption="" credit="" alt="photos"]
Now AOL is announcing BlueString’s compatibility with outside services, namely Photobucket, Picasa Web Albums, and Webshots, giving users the option to access photographs and videos previously uploaded to those sites without having to upload duplicate files to BlueString stored on a local drive. Of course, AOL has accomplished this expansion in BlueString’s power set by putting to use APIs made available by Google, Photobucket (now a MySpace entity), and Webshots.
