Photo Importing and User Categorization - You Choose!

Posted by Thomas Hillard on October 1, 2007 9:05 AM

Please excuse our diminished post count as of late, we've been focusing on reaching out to people to come and join the community. We have also been developing a number of very exciting developments. To name a few, we'll have a Yahoo/Google/Hotmail/Aol address book importer soon, a Bulk Image Uploading Device, and a RSS feed crawler to help you all find the RSS feed on your blog (as it seems to not be so easy with our current platform).

Today however, we get the pleasure to announce that you can bring all your photos from your website, myspace or other online entity with the click of a button! That's right, we made an image "importer". We got the idea from This Next. They have a nifty method of bringing pictures from websites you are browsing, so we just made our own version where you specify your website url, send out the web bot (web bot is 21st an acceptable term in this web 2.0 age yes?)

The bot returns all the pictures it found while crawling your site and any other pages linked to from it. Then you pick the pictures to bring over to your profile click "upload" and in seconds all the pictures are up!

This is the ultimate method for bringing your pictures over because it will save you literally hours and hours of image uploading.

You can give this a try by looking for "Import" in the photo section of your account page, or "Import" in the Edit Photos Page. If you have questions about the photo import tool, send us an email we'll be happy to answer your questions.

The other development is the categorization feature. Go to your Edit Profile Page, under the headline, about, and type fields you'll see a section that says "My Category:", click "select category" and the drop down menus will appear. Choose your most relevant category, and click "add category". That's it you're done! Think you belong in more then one category? No problem, just go through the steps described above again.

That's it folks, more of these good things coming. Hope you have fun!
