According to Download Squad,
Divvyshot is a new photo-sharing service with both a web interface and iPhone app to help you combine all of your photos from one event into a single album that an entire group can access. The developer is even promising to add desktop applications to the equation soon as well.
The showiest way to share photos using Divvyshot is to hold two iPhones together and shake them. The result is you can quickly share virtual stacks of photos between two handsets without having to actually sync or transfer the files -- instead, the iPhone user you’re sharing with gets access to the already-uploaded photos on the Divvyshot servers, and the second device pull those files down from the cloud.
To speed the process up, Divvyshot only downloads iPhone-quality versions of the photos, similar to how iTunes optimizes your iPhoto library prior to syncing your pictures. However, anyone you’ve given access to your albums can hit the website and download high-resolution versions as well.
Rounding out Divvyshot’s sharing abilities, the service also integrates nicely with Flickr, Twitter and Facebook -- almost a necessity in today’s world of social networking -- which makes sharing your photos on multiple sites quick and easy. Compatible with both iPhone and iPod touch,
Divvyshot is available as a free download from the App Store and requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later.
