2Entwine Releases FotoBuzz Viewlet
2Entwine | FotoBuzz Viewlet
2Entwine, the developers of Gush, have released FotoBuzz, a viewlet that implements the FotoNotes format and allows for the easy annotation of images. You have to be hosting your own blog or photoblog in order to use this. Hopefully hosted services like Blogger and TypePad will take notice!
I've been following FotoNotes and its developer, Greg Elin since 2003 when I was writing the PhotoBlogs report for Future Image and think that this has real potential to become the defacto standard for image annotation. It has already been implemented by Flickr.
As with any approach to image annotation or captioning, the closer you can move the act of annotating to the time the image is captured, the better. Once the images are sitting in files and folders on your hard disk or memory card, the annotation process becomes harder to get done. There is a big opportunity for improvement in captioning interfaces and automation. This is going to be a major area of activity and development in 2005 and beyond.
