More about photo albums
It would be great if a website could integrate for a logged-in user the pictures found on his hard drive with the ones being uploaded to a server (or more).
The website could present this as an option/feature. The user would have to download a local indexing service for her pictures, this would be the downside of the thing I guess. Perhaps it should use services like Google Desktop … or even Windows indexing engine, I don’t know, but it should be able to be accessed by http on a local port.
Then, when the user logs into the account on the website he can see all uploaded photos (tagges, labelled, chronologically etc.) as well as local photos. Maybe we can push the integration further to link all photos (by dates perhaps) in the same lists, so that it become easy for someone to see that she has some photos not uploaded yet.
Come on, which will be the first Web 2.0 company to offer this? flickr? buzznet? Somebody? I have about 2 Gigs of pictures just dying on my hard drive :p
Hold your horses … our service (Ojos) is designed to work very close to what you are suggesting. I have 50 GB waiting for the same thing…;-)
