Online Photo DB: Stage 3 – Identify possible solutions

Filed by: Julian on June 12th 2008

This post is part of the Online Photo Database project documentation. Learn more about the project’s current status.

Here is my list of software/sites that I am considering for my next version of the Online Photo DB. Some of them have already been reviewed against my requirements.

Third-Party Hosted Solutions

Self-Managed Solutions

I am very open to suggestions for others that I should consider.

Note: I see there are a lot of other people who have done similar evaluations. I have some reading to do.

Update: Added Windows Live, My Picture Town, PixelPost, PhotoQ PhotoBlog, PhpWebGallery. Categorised into self-managed and hosted. Added links to evaluations as they occurred, and then later moved them to the status page.

For quick reference, how did each of these tools go against the requirements? Is there a count of how many criticals/importants/desirables passed for each? For those that get ?, Y? or N?, I’d give a partial score – maybe 0.5, 0.8 and 0.2 each. Either that, or each is truly Y and N, and I’d give the range of possible passes or fails that this tool has.

This could also lift the long excruciating process of evaluating so many similar systems from pure academic interest to me to more like the quality of an election tally count… Who’s ~~cuisine~~ photo DB reigns supreme?
