Anobe: Another online photo app I developed an application almost exactly like this for my day job. This online photo album has a lot of potential but the developers need serious help with the user interfaces and the interaction experience.

The Pictorialis Forums have been hacked beyond repair. The hackers have left a message that says that the data is intact and can be restored but I refuse to ask them to do so or pay them in return. From what I gather, the database was modified to stuff the data into table overhead and out of the tables. I realize that a lot of information (and a lot of hard work from users/programmers) on and about Pictorialis used to be on those forums and I would like to restore them from my last backup (from about 3 weeks ago) which I think I can do.

All you have to do to get your blog and your posts listed is install the plugin and activate it. Blogsoftheday.com does the rest. The site is still a bit rough but it’s already tracking over 2000 articles in 335 categories and you can browse the articles in a variety of ways. You’ll be amazed at the variety of the content if you dig into the listings. It’ll get even more interesting when it has more than 35 blogs participating! Oh, and the site is powered by WordPress… naturally.
