Is there room for another photo sharing service?
buro9: I'd like a service that in one way made photos second class entities, and in another way treated them as the be all and end all.I want the hires, the digital negative, to be able to pair a digital negative and a jpg... so that's the first class stuff.But I want the current attributes of a photo on Flickr to be first class... time and place matter. In fact, a photo is an attribute of a moment in time. And so it should figure out when multiple people upload based on a shared event that the uploads are happening at the same place, and it should then work out from the timestamps when it was, so if anyone adds a geotag all matching files are implicitly tagged unless overridden.I want to search photos like tineye.com does... provide a photo as a search token. I want to find "similar" photos to the one I have... did someone link to a photo that belongs to a set, how do I get back to that set? How do I widen the search to find other photos from the event?I want to be able to get the original or negative, regardless of the size, if it's a CC image.I want to be able to background upload. If the images are local, then they're magically going to be published too.I'd like an auto image stitcher for lo-fi gigapan-ish images... select the ones to be stitched and go for it.Lots of things really. There's so much room still.
