Vi.sualize.us - More Social Bookmarking For Images

vi.sualize.us is another social bookmarking site for images, which functions similarly to other social bookmarking sites of this genre that have recently become popular. For those familiar with visual bookmarking sites like Photagr, vi.sualize.us will seem very familiar; you can tag photos, store them in your account, and share them with friends. You can browse images by user or tag, or run a keyword search. vi.sualize.us sorts all submissions automatically by date submitted, so the main page only features the newest images. Although the site is Spanish, the interface text is all in English and you can search in either of the two languages to yield fruitful results.

"vi.sualize.us is a social bookmarking website for visual contents — vi.sualize.us (read visualize us) allows you to remember your favorite images around the web, and share them with everyone".

Given the popularity of visual social bookmarking, vi.sualize.us could have some spillover from the throngs of users flocking to such sites. It offers a pleasant interface and would be a good site for social bookmarking beginners.

For me, there's really nothing new here. In fact, vi.sualize.us lacks some of the features that other similar sites offer; for instance, you can't build a personal profile nor can you comment on photos. The site doesn't let you view images by anything other than date submitted, which is more than a little irksome, and there really isn't too much of a web 2.0 here at all. I'm not a fan of the del.icio.us name rip-off either, which I feel is a microcosm of the rest of the site's features; in this genre of web 2.0, you really need to be more creative and offer truly unique features to beat out the competition.
