Tuesday Push : Pix.ie by Marcus Mac Innes
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008The Tuesday push is part of a coordinated effort to spread the work of the Irish tech community.
This week, the Tuesday push is Pix.ie by Marcus Mac Innes.
A few months ago I asked a few contacts on Twitter if they could recommend a good web app for storing photos, several recommended pix.ie.
When using pix.ie, there are plenty of small features that I really like, making it far less clucky than similar apps I’ve used before.
- When I go to upload a few photos, I can upload several at once using only 1 browse window instead of 1 browse window per image. It uploads them all in an instant.
- When browsing through albums, there’s a cool little effect. When hovering the mouse over an album, the images in the album slide out and surround the album so you can get a glimpse of what’s inside.
- On the social side, You can allow your albums and images to be visible to the public. People can comment on your images and you can build up a list of friends and view their albums too.
- Pix.ie provides an RSS feed of albums and has many popular methods of bookmarking such as Digg, Redd, Google and Yahoo and several more I’ve never heard of.
Im not a photographer, nor am I the type of person to have pictures of friends and family all over the place. I use pix.ie mostly to put up an image of something, such as a screenshot of a page and give someone a short url to view it.
Its fast to load, enjoyable to use and im looking forward to checking out a few more of its features that I have yet to use.
