Ask HN: Is there a market for photoblog software still?
With Flickr, Facebook photos, Google photos, Tumblr, Posterous, is there still market for photoblog software? Why would anyone choose a photoblog software instead of the above options?
- simon 15y agoSome might want more control over the presentation of their photography and a choice of back end service providers (such as getting prints). And, some of the services you mention have a preference to have you license your pictures under more permissive licenses. These services are great, for free, but once you want something more, they start seeming a little lacking.
- ImprovedSilence 15y agoFor the niche value of it. I love 500px.com. It is for the more "artsy" photos, and they encourage only posting your best, so that there isn't too much noise to sort though. Plus the interface is just gorgeous. I now spend more time there than Flickr. It has a strong international flavor too, which I like. Shameless plug for my meager photo collection: http://500px.com/ImprovedSilence http://500px.com/ImprovedSilence
