Nokia Image Exchange updated - Add new people to People menu

Starting from today, we are releasing new beta clients for Nokia Image Exchange with which you can:

• add people to your People menu
• set a screen name from your mobile
• search through your images in grid layout (touch UI version)

Due to the amount of images that get published every day, we thought it would be nice to be able to see public images from just certain people without the need to wade through the whole public image stream. As a result, we've now added the possibility to add people to your People menu. Simply click "Add to People" on a person's image and the images he/she publishes later on appear directly under his/her screen name in your People menu. This feature is available via both the mobile and web interfaces.

As only people who have set their screen name (a nickname that is visible to anybody) can be added to People menu, new clients also include a way to set your screen name from your mobile. This feature is found from the options menu under "Account Information" -> "Set screen name...".

The touch UI version also sees the return of a search grid so you can see an overview of your shots. The search view is accessible via the main menu as well as via the volume down key in image browsing mode.

We hope you enjoy these improvements.  Let us know what you think.
