Ploggle

Ploggle is a site where people can collect photos and videoclips they take with their mobile. You sign up for free and then you take a picture with your mobile and send it to Ploggle or your can send images by email.

All in all I think Ploggle is great. I happen to know one of the founders, Daniel Light, from the Kung Fu club. I know that he is working hard on it and recently they've updated the code quite a lot.

The site is really user-friendly which of course is highly appreciated. From a marketing point of view I think they do a great job making it easy for people to sign up. The service is free but if you want to upload more than 30 pictures you'll have to pay a small amount. You can also password protect uploading of pictures.

Some of the great features I like:

• you get your own subdomain (e.g. peterbe.ploggle.com)
• the site loads fast and is short on wording
• instead of "Log-in" they call it "Plog-in"
• you can easily edit your pictures in the Plog Editor
• you can easily customise your site in the Plog Design
• videoclips are automatically converted to Flash to avoid the web browser plugin hell
• you can "Request updates" of plogs you like similar to my Email Reminder
• and last but not least, I love the javascript they have that makes it so easy to click on all pictures of any plog

Keep up the good work. It's great inspiration. But, I called my blog entries container plog before I even knew about this site. Ploggle makes my MMS Photo Messages look pretty plain.
