Photosharing sites like flickr<\/a>, picassa<\/a> or 23hq<\/a> are close to the very definition of the “2.0 state of everything”. They have shown the social potential of photos, wanting to be shared, seen and commented on by a wide public. They\u2019ve shown how the web can intervene and fuel the powers of images in todays modern culture.<\/p>\n

However flickr, picassa and 23hq all have suffered from one major drawback: they\u2019ve been far to passive, and pull-oriented: Even though I\u2019ve uploaded pictures of various family-events to flickr, my family only rarely has ended up enjoying my great photographic skills. For them to do so, I\u2019d have to draw their attention to the fact that they could relive the weekends get-together by going to flick, meaning I\u2019d have to send them an email trying to explain them (in words) what I\u2019d put out there for them and instructing them how to get it. This in itself has probably sounded too complicated for a lot of them. But even though most of them might actually have followed the link to my flickr-album, most of them will have been scared off by the flickr-log in procedure.<\/p>\n

On Facebook<\/a>, on the contrary, photosharing seems to be working big time, even though facebook is not (or has not hitherto been regarded as) a photosharing site. Here no efforts are needed for the photos to spread \u2013 they virtually autospread themselves: Photos taken by or off my friends shows up automatically whenever I log on and vice versa. Because someone I know have uploaded a new pic. Or because someone have tagged somebody I know on a photo. And since over a third of the entire Danish population are visiting facebook every month (1,85 mio Danes according to the latest FDIM<\/a> statistics), facebook has reached out far beyond the usual (firstmover) suspects of flickr, linkedin and what have you. Facebook today has the size allowing for pictures effectively to dissolve through very large parts of my actual physical network:\u00a0 On facebook I\u2019m befriended with my parents, siblings, cousins, in laws. With my professional network, with my real friends \u2013 and even with some of the kids of the above mentioned.<\/p>\n

(Actually the teens in my network seem most wholeheartedly to have adopted the photo sharing capabilities of facebook. A very large part of their social actions on their profiles relates to exactly this: sharing and commenting pictures.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
