Fotopedia challenges Flickr, and Picasa

If you are a picture freak with your DSLR, iPhone, or Digital Video camera, I recommend you checking out a site I found on LifehackerFotopedia is a  FREE website where you can follow your friends albums and geotag your pictures with the location the picture was taken.  It’s a very cool site depending on your obsession with photography.  I am in the process of looking for a DSLR that will fit my lifestyle, and this site will be my favorite for those very things.

I enjoy traveling and want a camera to document the places, but I also want to remember where I took each picture.  I am going to make a prediction that geotagged photos will be the wave of the future, and I bet the new iPhone 3G S is going to have the built in ability to do this.  I think much of what Fotopedia is doing might be copied and done better by Facebook considering they are leading photo site on the web.  However, Facebook will need to step up their game with some new features if they want to compete.

  1. The iPhone already can geotag photos but the new iPhone 3G S has a substantially better camera than the older models and I'm sure the next model will be even better. By the time I get the next iPhone I could see myself just carrying that around because the pictures will be great (along with the video). If I want to take some serious photos I'll have to carry around the DSLR I'm going to get.
