Lasso lets you requests photos from friends on iOS

Photobucket co-founder Alex Welch has launched a new version of iOS photo sharing app Lasso, giving users the chance to request images from their friends’ camera rolls, rather than waiting for them to share images to traditional sharing sites like Flickr or Instagram.

The Lasso app is a request-based sharing network that keeps images private between the original taker and the requester. The app offers a subtle notification when users have new photos that could be available for viewing, and friends need only to request those pictures from their friends to view them (of course, the original taker would need to accept the request).

In the new version of Lasso, the user-interface has been redesigned and streamlined, and the application now supports voluntary sharing of images, in cases when the photo taker knows a request may soon be coming and wishes to skip the wait.
