MyGreatWorld is a free, alternative photo community that organizes photos by where they were taken, essentially creating a photographic map of the world, country-by-country, city-by-city. Residents and travelers alike upload their best pictures of a location to the site, and along with identifying each photo with a place on the map, you can add a date and classify pictures into categories, like art, nature, gastronomy, hotel, etc. Optional written comments and descriptions can accompany each photo, and will be indexed for keyword searches. Visitors browse the site by map location, recently added photos, or top-rated photos, and can search by any combination of parameters including keyword, date, category, and location. Registered members can communicate with others via private messages.

"The site lives from the users' engagement and from the belief that on an international level there are no 'mundane' or 'mediocre' photos: The world in all its facets is very well worth seeing and what's 'interesting' is in the eye of the beholder... Whatever the reason for a visit to a place, photos & information from residents and those who know the spot are always welcome, both, to make the best out of a trip and not to miss the secret beauty every location holds... Users may depict their recommendations on MyGreatWorld.com. For tourists. For residents. For friends. Worldwide."

The map-based navigation is unique and gives this photo community a warm, traveler-friendly feel. Users enjoy multiple ways to find photos that interest them (browse the map or search by category, date, etc.) and the optional descriptions and comments written will help posters to identify which spots they recommend or don’t, and where exactly to find those sites, when is the best time to visit, what is the best thing to order from the menu, etc.

| Some questions | |||
|
|
|
With no restrictions on how many photos users can upload, will the better photos and recommendations be lost among the masses? Does MyGreatWorld have the server space and bandwidth secured to support rapid and/or extensive growth?
