Because of the abundance of photo hosting sites available on the web, it can be hard to track down every photo from an event you’ve attended. Oftentimes they’re scattered across multiple user accounts, under generic album titles like “Party”, making them hard to find and virtually useless for future reference.
LifeSnapz, a photo sharing site that launched at TechCrunch50’s DemoPit, is looking to give users a simple way to manage photos from multiple sources at a given event. To use the site, users first invite their friends to join their groups, where they can post their photo albums under discrete Events (for example, they could create multiple photo albums under the heading “School Graduation).
Collaborative photo albums are nothing new - many popular photo services allow multiple users to upload to the same album. But CEO Brian Hand says that LifeSnapz takes a different approach, by allowing users to group photos through time and space (namely, they are arranged by date and location data, when available). This information is used to compile an interactive timeline, which serves as a fun and intuitive way to browse through past photos (especially when compared to the thumbnail views offered by most photo services).
