Photo-Sharing

Diary of today
Today the class worked in iWeb, playing around with the program, trying to get used to the software's features. Reece, James and I were in a group and we created a website with a Homepage, an About me page, a Photo page and finally a Blog page. The program is fairly easy to used and soon enough we will have it mastered. I had to search Google for some images, and type in information for the website, while I also found out how to create my own hyperlinks. I also learned how to take a screenshot by using Drag.

Flickr
Flickr is a well-known specialist photo-sharing website. The homepage for Flickr is very easy to use as shown by the screenshots below:

Flickr features:
Upload - Upload from your desktop, send by email, or use your cameraphone.
Edit - Get rid of red eye, crop a photo, or get creative with fonts and effects!
Organize - Use collections, sets, and tags to organize your photos and videos.
Share - Use groups and privacy controls to share your photos and videos.
Maps - Share where your photos and videos were taken, and see photos and videos taken near you.
Make Stuff - Sexy cards, photo books, framed prints, Target pick up, DVDs, etc.
Keep in Touch - Get updates from family and friends.

So as you can see Flickr has many useful features for serious users, casual users, and those who just want to view or share photo's. I searched for "live music" and their engine returned 2,529,291 items! An amazing return for high resolution photo's. There is also the option to upload videos to the site.

Woophy
Woophy is another photo-sharing experience where the main feature is a large map that highlights how many photo's are from which part of the world, which is a different feature to that of Flickr's. However compared to Flickr, the navigation is slighty more difficult and less appealing. The site also has a news section and a forum dedicated to the members of the site, whereas Flickr only has photo comments as an option. Unlick Flickr, Woophy has no edit functions, meaning what you upload is final, and it also has no video option.

Conclusion
From looking at both websites, personally I prefer Flickr, it looks more proffesional, has more and better features, and is a lot easier to use. It also appears more of a community plus editing features to give it the upper hand.
Verdict:
Flickr - 9/10
Woophy - 7/10
