Pix.ie - Ireland's Photo Community

Pix.ie is an Ireland-based photo sharing site, similar to other sites of the same genre. Pix.ie lets you search for photos by tag or by community member, or upload some photos of your own. If you register, you'll have access to more of the sites features and will be able to rate and comment on photos. You can also see when the photo was taken and how many times it's been viewed. If you like the photos of a particular member, you can add them to your contact list. You'll also probably want to create your personal profile, complete with a comment wall, contact list, and an "about me section". The site also displays the highest-rated photos over certain periods of time (month, week, past 24 hours).

"Make Your Photos

Come Alive!

1. Always taking photos?

2. Want to share with friends?

3. Need somewhere secure?

4. You'll love it!"

Pix.ie boasts stunning user photos produced by a community of users that seems to have somehow restricted itself to only those who really appreciate and understand photography. Pix.ie's "Explore" feature gives an excellent preview of the site's features and options.

Unfortunately, there's not much that separates Pix.ie from the rest of the playing field; how does the site plan to compete with larger, more global sites like WebShots, and Flickr? Do they plan on marketing their site outside of Ireland?
