You must have Java installed on your computer to use the drag-and-drop uploader.

On top of the nice design, the URL for the images is quite short and legible; e.g. http://divvyshot.com/photo/LRHa/. That's a nice touch.

Only Firefox 3.6 supports dragging files onto a web page. Not available in chrome yet...

The java applet is a backup for older browsers. If you have firefox 3.6 just drag photos directly onto an event page.

We'll expand support as soon as we can but we're at the mercy of the browsers here.

Check out their sexy new homepage: http://divvyshot.com/ (For reference, here's the old one http://www.crunchbase.com/assets/images/original/0003/8843/3... ) Hats off, Sam. Nice work.

I dig the reddit shirt in the photos. :-)

Why they failback on Java not G Gears?

Wow, congratulations guys! It's been fun watching the site evolve over the past few months. The new site design is absolutely beautiful, I don't think I've ever seen anything better in a web application to be honest.

You can go even shorter: http://divvyshot.com/p/LRHa/ or http://dvsht.com/p/LRHa/.

The same works for events; just substitute an e.

Google is doing a poor job of supporting Google Gears, and they've made it clear that they're focussing on HTML5 from now on.
