| Who made PixPulse possible? |
PixPulse started in 2005 when David wanted to create an easier and more interactive way to share videos and photos with friends on mobile phones. We want people to interact with localized media and content from other PixPulse Channels. PixPulse was created to be simple and very effective at sharing and publishing mobile media—it’s easy enough for David’s non-techy mom to use.
