Tabblo.
June 23rd, 2006
A new Web startup to watch, as recently reviewed by Mossberg: Tabblo, a photo-sharing site with a twist: they allow you to do nice layouts and collages (instead of locking you into a slide-sorter aesthetic). [Side note for pygeeks: Tabblo is a Django app.]
As you know, my work on the Campanile opened my eyes to the power of photo presentation; you need some gridlines, some breathing room, contrasting colors and sizes, a little text, and pretty soon you can tell a story (or several). Sometimes it’s fun to roll the dice and let entropy decide these things. (e.g.: Chanukah 2001, PalmSource moving out and in, Monterey, a nice pen, doodles, a lovely wedding.)
One little nitpick on Tabblo, though: the photo viewer looks oddly familiar.
