This blog post is 16 years old! Most likely, its content is outdated. Especially if it's technical.

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.
