Photo hosting and sharing, call for suggestions! Looking for a gather, organize, get stories, comment site/tool that would be easy to use by friends and family to browse and add to. Ideally collaborative tagging and editing
Clearly it must also have some guarantees re: backup and export, so all the work of people adding knowledge and stories to old (and not so old) pictures can't vanish with 30days notice. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Currently have a flickr account but that is too flat, not easy enough to organise, relate pictures. Webshots is the same, although it does offer backup which is a plus, and has a desktop client, and has existed since 1999 or longer which is interesting (have an account since 2000 which means a credit of 15000 picture hosting). Was considering using 72photos, as that was clean and simple, but it seems to be dying, or at least things are breaking and not being fixed. So looking at new options - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
It takes a lot of time to upload images and organize them to test a site, so hoping for feedback from people who have already done it - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
option 1 - a lot of the "printing" focused companies have album features and family-connecting features. I never tried any but if anyone uses one as a co-site i would be interested to hear. Or if you work for one, do suggest it, no fear :) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
option 2 - looking at http://www.expono.com/ looks ambitious. Interesting features are the facetagging, geotagging, organization and relationship options, editing of meta information and it claims sophisticated groups and permissions so perhaps I can let a select group change meta information (no backup/re-download newly tagged photos that I could tell). I have not tried it, this is all based on reading their own blurb. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
option 3 - phanphare http://www.phanfare.com/. Interesting features here are the dropbox (so others can add pictures that belong in a collection), backup, desktop client (although i use and like acdsee) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
option 4 - ipernity http://www.ipernity.com/ they dont describe the features much but just looking at the resulting image blogs it might be quite interesting to organise. It's more like a bloggier flickr, and multi lingual - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
option 5 - dropshots http://www.dropshots.com/ Simpler looking but seems quite good at organizing. And simpler might be better to get certain people to use it - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Would love to hear if anyone uses any of these and can tell me what's good etc :) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
especially ipernity and expono - any users? - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
If you prefer self-hosting, Gallery 3 looks like it is going to be a great tool. Gallery 2 suffered the second system effect, but Gallery 3 is the product of a very experienced team loaded with hindsight. The beta 3 has been out last month and it is already very usable. My only gripe against Gallery is that it lacks integration into social networks - but that is nothing that can't be fixed using plugins. http://gallery.menalto.com/gallery... - Jean-Marc Liotier
I dont need the integration into social networks as much as the building of a small network - I am hoping to build something that makes it easy for people to upload the bits of history they have and perhaps help fill in the blanks for each other - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Joelle, I created the exception to your rule: "It takes a lot of time to upload images and organize them to test a site." Just use a few hundred images taken with phones or digital cameras and try out OurDoings. They're organized as soon as you upload them. All you do is click calendar icons then "Edit" to add a story to go with a group of pictures. (They're initially grouped by the day they were taken.) You can know in 20 minutes if it's for you: http://ourdoings.com/ - Bruce Lewis
Hi Bruce - just spotted your post, will give it a try! - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Great! - Bruce Lewis
signed up today - nice set of upload options (cant upload now, would interfere with R's WoW raid) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
ever tried http://www.smugmug.com/ ? - A.T.
smugmug is very nice but not what i am looking for in this very particular case: a version where you can let a group of others add bits of information - dates, places etc. on old photos - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

"Speedtest.net for Android is the perfect application to test 3G speeds. The app was just released in the last 48 hours and has already been updated several times to fix some bugs. The service works just as one would expect it to. A settings page allows you to change servers, adjust speed measurements, and sort history." - Just tested it on the Droid, it works OK but seems stuck in portrait orientation. - LANjackal from Bookmarklet
Finally :) - Can Demirezen
mine's stuck in portrait too. tested VZW 3g at 794 down and 776 up. Second test 1051 down and 735 up. faster uploads than standard cable service. - Matt Ellsworth
I was about to say the same ... VZW's upload speeds are impressive (although I can burst upload at nearly 2 MB/s and do so consistently at ~420 kB/s on Comcast), especially the fact that up/down is nearly symmetrical. I tested at 811 kB/s down 751 up myself - LANjackal from IM
App crashes if Droid is locked while it's running on top - LANjackal from IM

Sync, Play & Send to Android with doubleTwist
Jealous of the easy media management of iTunes, but don't use an iPod/iPhone? Then this is the app for you! </tv announcer voice> Seriously, though. doubleTwist is a great app for managing your music, photos and music and syncing them between your desktop (Mac or Windows) and your Android phone. It also converts videos and music files to compatible formats when syncing to your device (I haven't tested this). Also has Amazon MP3 store integration for easy browsing and purchase of unencumbered audio files. Highly recommended. - Jason Huebel from Bookmarklet

Google Wave to me its just a bit more complicated than Adobe connect. The main issue you want to resolve is remote communication with workmates in a virtual office. Visuals/and audio take care of the mimic but you need a record. So why not just make small visual records of meetings? Not mentally challenging enough for you? Well, then let's throw FF, email, chat, FB, and file sharing all together and see what happens. - Melanie Reed

I started working on a data-tree style notetaking application recently. Which similar web application (Wridea, Google Notebook, Evernote, and the like) are you guys using, and what do you love/hate most about that application?
What you're describing reminds me of mindmapping services online like mindmeister. Or is your app less graphical? - Maxamad (Amazigh)
Much less graphical. Mine has no Flash, no fancy graphics and sounds. Just lets you organize whatever you wish to organize into nodes and subs (like the tree on the left of Windows Explorer).. Most mindmapping and note-taking applications have too much detail, too many options and actions (imho). So I'm looking for simpler and easier-to-use applications. Got any? - Necmettin
Something like this: http://tmp.begiter.gen.tr/dt... (I couldn't find how to add an image after creating the entry in FF). - Necmettin
I have been using Treepad for this: see screenshot of how I am using it with. http://www.imagebam.com/image... .Also similar ones available are treedbnotes pro, rightnote, allmynotes organizer pro. But they all lack what I would like. I like the tree-style layout and the ability to create sub nodes of sub nodes at the left, but I would need text colorations and special... more... - TrafficBug
Google Tasks. I love lots of things about it. It's simplicity. How you can control it pretty much from the keyboard. Portability (I have it in Gmail and gCalendar). Things I don't like about it: I can't delete or rename my first list. It needs a few more keyboard shortcuts for full keyboard usage; like switching between lists. Exportability is not much of an option. If I pop it out, I... more... - Maxamad (Amazigh)
@TrafficBug I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'wiki of links'. And the applications you list are all desktop applications it seems. Any online options? - Necmettin
@Mehmet Yeah, I love GTasks, too. Except it doesn't use the entire window, just a small portion of it. I don't like that, really. Do you use Google Tasks on a daily basis, or have a better option that syncs with your phone? - Necmettin
You can make Gtasks use the full window. Create a bookmark with the following URL - "http://mail.google.com/tasks..." - Vinayak Joshi
Cool tip, thanks. But then again, I'm writing my own todo-notetaking-datatree application, and I'm hoping to have it published within the week. - Necmettin
@Necmetting, by wiki of links I meant something like this. Link = http://imgur.com/IbezS.png Something like Treepad, but this could be a variation. I havent used online note taking apps so far because I need very fast indexing and fast retrieval and would prefer all data stored on desktop, with prohbably syncs to the cloud at a sequence and interval I determine manually. - TrafficBug
Yeah, I use it daily. And thanks Vinayak for the link. - Maxamad (Amazigh)
Here is a recap of feature list I would like - freeform database, full-text search, auto-completion of search results (autosuggest), prominent "Find" button provided as part of toolbar, and the whole thing could be like a spreadsheet with rows of data with only 1 column = "data" instead of a tree-data format, something like a scrolling table of entries that match the current dataset as found by the entry in the Find textbox. - TrafficBug
Very nice, useful and applicable ideas, TrafficBug. Except, how would you enter more than one paragraph of text (say, something like a "note" about an entry)? When you say freeform database, do you mean being able to add new columns to entries (separately), or a more relaxed way of saving the data/text? - Necmettin
I made this video of a bookmarking app I use: http://www.screentoaster.com/watch... I especially like how the Find text box is bringing up results as I type (the result dataset keeps changing as I type). As regards your questions, I would define one 'entry' to be a 'text snippet' that is allowed to occupy one row in the search results spreadsheet that appear like... more... - TrafficBug
Wow! Adding everything you described to my "considering doing" list. Thanks for such a detailed description. - Necmettin
@necmettin I have used/tested all of the ones you mention, plus MindMeister, XMind (non-browser), Todoist, RTM, TwitDone yesterday (it actually has some interesting ideas), and even FriendFeed as a To-Do/notes app (as a private Group). None do everything I'd want them to be truly useful, GoogleNotes got close but was missing some things before Google archived the project (clipping was fast/great, as was manual clip sorting; no child nodes though). - Alex Schleber
@necmetin BTW, have you looked into #Wordpress' P2 Theme for note threading? http://p2demo.wordpress.com/ It's only missing edit of posts/replies, which is probably turned on for the admin user, will have to do my own install to test. For clipping, just use the WP PressThis bookmarklet?! - Alex Schleber
Checking out all the options Alex listed (and thanks, Alex, for that), yet I still do not feel like I found *the* todo/notes application. Each and every one of them has strengths, yet again each seem to lack at least one feature I would like to have (and planning to include in the application I'm working on). I have almost always been on the lookout for a perfect notes/todo application... more... - Necmettin
Please post here when your custom app is ready for a testing! IMHO, I could live without the data-tree as provided by Treepad, I guess what I would really need is the Powermarks-style text snippet database, just expanded to include right click integration from any app. (the app in the screencast video). - TrafficBug
