MemoryWeb Revamps Memory Stamp Feature That Lets Families and

Genealogists Tie Details to Photos, Forever

MemoryWeb, a company founded on the concept that back-of-the-photo information should travel
with photos wherever they go, enhances and redesigns it's memory stamp feature in response to user
feedback.

Chicago, IL, November 28, 2017 --(PR.com)-- MemoryWeb today announced a revamped version of its
memory stamp feature that changed both the format of the stamp and expanded the information it can
mark. This popular feature lets users share photos with who, what, when, where and why details
permanently imprinted as part of the picture. Users can share photos without any details as well.

Prior to this release, MemoryWeb's memory stamp feature placed the user's chosen details directly on the
actual photo when it was shared from the app. While the original memory stamp format was very well
received, users gave feedback that they would prefer the tag details to be separate from the actual photo
but still a permanent part of the image. Users also expressed a wish to be able to use the memory stamp to
clearly mark ownership on photos, especially when they are shared in a public setting such as a
collaborative family tree.

In response to this input, MemoryWeb revamped their memory stamp feature in two key ways. First, the
company added a field in the memory stamp options that allows the user to cite who contributed a photo.
This is a key add for genealogists looking to ways to better protect their digital assets.

Second, MemoryWeb placed all memory stamp information below the photo and used smart icons to
easily distinguish what type of detail was included.

In the new format, users chose what, if any, details they would like to share from this list:
- Caption
- People
- Location
- Album
- Date
- Contributor (new)

MemoryWeb's founders created the memory stamp to solve one of the biggest problems faced by people
sharing photos today - the disconnection of details.

The ability to share photos with details permanently connected is especially important to genealogists,
says Christopher Desmond, one of MemoryWeb's three founders. These family historians spend
countless hours researching the stories of their ancestors and are clamoring for a way to easily share their
findings with the context intact and with photo ownership clearly documented.

embedded within the file metadata, the founders realized that the details can come unglued when the
image is uploaded/shared with platforms such as Facebook. More often than not, social media and other
sharing platforms will strip out the embedded tags or will override them with incorrect info such as
today's date and location. This blog post contains a detailed example how photo information can be
compromised.

MemoryWeb's memory stamp solves that problem by creating a way to permanently attach
back-of-the-photo details, regardless of where the photo is uploaded, shared, printed, etc., states
Desmond.

MemoryWeb's memory stamp feature is just one of several ways tag details can travel on and/or within a
user's photos. The company describes the ability to permanently tie details to photos forever, a process
they refer to as creating File DNA, in this passage from their website.

About MemoryWeb

MemoryWeb was founded by three Chicago-based entrepreneurs with a track record of start-up success
who believe that back-of-the-photo information should travel with photos wherever they go. Currently
available for iOS devices, MemoryWeb brings generations of photos from a broad range of sources in one
organized place, creates interactive connections between them and preserves back-of-the-photo details
forever.

Because MemoryWeb imports copies of photos directly from places such as Facebook, Instagram,
Dropbox, Flickr, Photos Camera Roll, Mac/Windows computers and FamilySearch, the company is able
to preserve more of the correct information tags during the import process.
