TagMee is another photo sharing and storage site, which looks and functions very similarly to Flickr. Like Flickr, you can create a profile, upload, and share your photos and browse those of others on the network. Photos can be kept private or made public by set (a “set” is a series of photos within an album. Think: “sophomore year” in the album “college”). In terms of the photos, you can tag and comment on them, as well as browse popular images by date submitted and popularity. TagMee also includes an “Almost popular” category for up-and coming photos. You can make friends, naturally, and use TagMee’s “friend surf” tool to help you make new contacts by browsing the friends of people already in your network. On each users page, you’ll be able to see their recent site activity (photos commented on, tags added, and the like). You can send private messages, called “Whispers” to other users, and opt to include a photo from one of your sets. TagMee is currently operating in private beta, but you can sign up to get on the list for a free account.
“Share, organize, and store your photos with TagMee”.
TagMee manages to incorporate most of Flickr’s positive aspects without seeming entirely like a rip-off artist. It also adds some unique features (like the inclusion of images in private messages) which make it stand out from the oversaturated photo sharing genre of sites.
What TagMee seems to lack is, ironically, more tags. Why can’t you search for photos by tag, for instance? Why is there no tag cloud? These seem like logical functions to include on the site, considering the name.
