Read/Write Web発

In this post we profile the red hot photo sharing space, where the blogosphere darling Flickr is actually trailing in the mass market. Back in June, Hitwise posted their online photo market statistics - which showed Photobucket with a huge market lead at #1 and Flickr at #6. A lot of Photobucket's lead is due to its high usage in MySpace pages - 56% of Photobucket's traffic is from MySpace, according to Hitwise. So marketing and being part of a large ecosystem are crucial. But also important is having simple and easy to use features. So we present here a feature-by-feature comparison and also highlight areas where particular services stand out from the pack.

ウェブ上の写真サトは、競争が激化してます。

サービスがまとめられてます。





Pros

Cons

Flickr (owned by Yahoo!)

innovative, tons of cool features, drag and drop, sharing, RSS, badges, clustering

difficult to use for non tech savvy

Photobucket

simple, limited functionality, badges

perhaps too simple, annoying ads, no sharing and social web features

Kodakgallery

professional interface, targeting main stream

no sharing and social web features

MyPhotoAlbum

simple, has all the basic functions, each album has unique URL

no sharing and social web features

Pbase (not in the same space)

stunning professional photography, gallery-based implementation, simple

no sharing and social web features

Picasa (not in the same space yet - owned by Google)

hard to say because it is not apples to apples, but editing photos is nice

basically not (yet) in the same space, not really web-based

Picturetrail

music associated with albums, lots of badge options

unbearably annoying ads during sign up, clubs instead of groups, does not seem intuitive

Shutterfly

professional interface, targeting mainstream

no sharing and social web features

Slide (not in the same space)

runs on top of Flickr, Photobucket, etc. plugs into MySpace, blogs, etc. Fills nice niche within the space.

focused on making slideshows (it's a limitation, if you want to consider this service as a contender).

Smugmug

professional interface, a lot of album options, well thought through

not free

Snapfish

professional interface, targeting mainstream

no sharing and social web features

Webshots

has lots of social web photo features

ads, somewhat clunky, no tags (at least we could not find them)

Zoomr

conceptually interesting, some innovative UI, uses OpenID for login.

confirmation image gives you instant headache; no geography-only tag cloud; the maps are cool, but not useful

Zoto

very well designed, has the most social web features

somewhat slow, lacks printing ability
