image sharing

An essential aspect ofWeb 2.0 is to open up to other web users. As a blogger, this can take place in communities where people exchange ideas, but also on communication platforms where people present photos or videos. This is referred to as photoblogging, imagesharing and video-sharing.

With image sharing, everyone can present their photos and images and participate in the photos of other visitors. You present yourself with a small part of your privacy without having to step out of anonymity. You are part of a large community that all have the same interest: to see and be seen.

Within a very short time, image sharing has spread and is dominated by some photo sharing portals. Flickr.com is the most famous photo portal, Photobucket.com, PicOodle.com are others of many.
