DailyBooth
Okay guys sorry I haven’t posted for ages but i though i would post about a new social netwoking site i joined recently but have only just discovered the website is http://www.PhotoBooth.com. So this site pretty much no one knows about but it sees that it is quiet poular in america here is a small summary oh the site hope u like it:
DailyBooth is a photoblogging website designed for users to take a photo of themselves every day with a caption, in order to document and share their life with others, thus the slogan “your life in pictures.” It is similar to social-networking websites such as Twitter in that you can follow other users and allow them to follow you in turn and get real-time updates on what other people are doing. The user base is geared towards teens.HiIn August, 2009, the site was reported to have over 3 million unique visitors a month with a growth rate of about 35% a month.
History:
Dailybooth is funded by the startup funding firm, Y Combinator.
DailyBooth was founded and opened in February 2009 by Jon Wheatley and lead developer Ryan Amos, gaining popularity after several YouTube stars and Internet celebrities joined and encouraged their viewers and readers to join. The site recently passed the 1,000,000 photo mark and the user who posted the 1,000,000th photo won a Throwboy pillow. In early 2010, the website reached 3,000,000 photos and 10,000,000 comments.
Rumors have been stated that many venture capital firms want to fund Dailybooth.
Y Combinator stated that they had once considered a name change for DailyBooth, but were afraid it would cause a revolt with the community.
Features:
The Live Feed is a feature which displays a real-time stream of recent photos and activity from all members on the site. The Live Map displays real-time updates on a map.
Dailybooth allows users to automatically post a link to their Twitter account when they take new photos. Dailybooth also offers short URLs for users to link to their photos. In alot of ways this site is similar to Twitter as u can follow the people you want.
Events
Friday holds the optional tradition of “Naked Friday”, which involves people taking their daily photo in the nude, but with objects or camera angles strategically set up to keep the photos suitable. This is similar to dress down friday, but incorporating nudity. Other phenomena include secretbooth, an account similar to PostSecret, set up to post user submitted images where they confess something, and accounts dedicated to reviewing books, films etc.
Some people have organised small gatherings of users, with larger ones planned for the future.
