RANCHO BERNARDO ---- It's a story that happens everywhere: A tech-savvy college student struggles to help a tech-naive parent. But UC San Diego computer science student Ryan Sit took it further. Sit turned his mother's struggles with her digital camera into his master's thesis. And he turned that thesis into a new online photo-sharing company, DropShots.
Founded in 2005 as JussPress, DropShots makes software that automatically organizes, formats and uploads photos and videos to the company's Web site. Users and those they allow can view the photos. Most importantly, Sit said, the photos aren't just to look at: They serve as springboards for online comments and conversations. Photos that get a lot of comments move up the page, helping to keep the discussion going.
