There was that time your nephew accidentally deleted a month’s worth of photos. Or how about that time that your sister borrowed your camera and forgot to give it back? To say the least, there are gaps in the photo timeline of your life. That’s why we were pretty excited to hear about Pictarine! It’s a web app that collects your photos from all the different places you’ve posted them on the web — Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox and lots more. It then turns them into a clean timeline that you can browse. It’s even able to pull in photos your closest friends snapped, so you can see photos from the get-together that you didn’t get on camera. We could tell you how nostalgic it’ll make you feel, but scrolling through your life in photo-form is something you’ll have to experience yourself. Make a Photo Timeline with Pictarine via Netted p.s. We’re judging a self-portrait contest by our friends at ViewBug. Check it out for chance at $100 in Photojojo bux and more! |
