Zoto looks pretty neat. I signed up earlier and also set up an account for my Mom. But why isn’t WordPress a “supported blog”? Only a 136 users so far as I write this. Go sign up and try it out. They’ve done some interesting things with the interface and they have an open source photo client available for Windows, OS X, and Linux. I couldn’t get the Linux client working on my Mom’s computer, had no trouble at home on Gentoo though. I think it was an old version of Python.
I uploaded a few not-yet-on-the-photolog photos to my Zoto page to get the party started. (The fact that some of those are from Christmas and New Year’s means I really need to catch up.)
I’ve been quite happy with Flickr, by the way. They’re working on better weblog integration, too. Plus, they’re committed to keeping the free service free.
Thanks for the post Matt! We’ve had the beta out just barely 2 1/2 weeks now, and we looking forward to feedback from the users.
If anyone wants features that we don’t currently have, now is the time to hit us up about them! We are working toward another major release due out the first part of September.
BTW, our integrated WordPress blog isn’t up yet, but you can drop into the forums and read/post comments there.
Looks great but it is odd that they require your postal code and salary in order to register!
Still on the fence.
It didn’t require my salary or postal code…
After you register on the confirmation screen they have a form where you can fill in a bunch of optional information. You can skip it if you want.
Looks like we “wordpressed” their web server.
Late post here, but thanks for the intro to Zoto Matt.
It’s a nice place and very user friendly. As soon as they work out the kinks, it’ll be stellar.
