I’ve started testing out DropShots, another new photo sharing site. Originally I thought Dropshots seemed slow, but after more testing (today is 2nd day) I’ve found that it was my own computers fault. I started using it with Flock, now I’m on Firefox – and its fast. I like its DropBox uploading tool although it doesn’t have as many functions as Flickrs tool – might be nice for those not too savvy on these things.

Personally I’m quite fond of the Flock browsers integrated tools for viewing and uploading photos to Flickr and Photobucket. In Firefox you can use Fotofox – a quite similar tool.

The ads in DropShots are not as intrusive as in many other pic sharing sites. Also it’s a piece of cake using pics on other sites (like the one in this post), just click ‘blog’ and you get:

  • The HTML code for the photo – in the size you see here in this post
  • HTML code for thumbnails pointing to all your pics & videos of the same day (see below)
  • HTML code for thumbnails of your last 6 photos & videos posted
  • Link to webpage for email & IM – just in case you have no idea how to do that
  • And finally you get the BBCode – for bulletin boards, message boards, or forums

When I’m on it I might as well mention aaaanother photosite/webalbum-tool I use alot: Googles Picasa Webalbum. In conjunction with Picasa2 it works great! Mainly I use it for my family photos – although my family are chickens who don’t dare beeing visible online, so most of the albums are hidden ;)
