The site was created in the year 2002. It gained popularity so swift that it quickly became listed on the top 100 web sites in the Alexia global site ranks, which includes sites from all over the world. Headquartered in New York City, New York in the United States, this is one online community that is here to stay.
With such rapid growth, Fotolog experienced a number of challenges, such as a few technical difficulties, but members remained loyal and were patient as changes were implemented to work out the issues. There have been numerous upgrades that allow a user to navigate with lightening speed and make the site very user friendly.
Before upgrades, it was a bit difficult for a user to upload pictures during the peak hours of use and the number of members allowed into the site needed to be monitored; the maximum was five-hundred. Since making their upgrades, there are absolutely no restrictions now, a person may upload pictures at any time and an infinite number of people may all be on the site at the same time. Fotolog has made these changes with the help of a huge donation by BV Capital, of over two million dollars.
Fotolog is so popular, that not only are millions of people using this site to keep their pictures and share them with people from all over the world, but a book was also published using photographs from this site. Users are very pleased to know that they can be semi-famous not only on the web, but have the possibility to gain notoriety in print as well.
For those wishing to look into the possibility of becoming a Fotolog member, there are two options; paying and non-paying. To be a non-paying member, a person’s space will be supported by advertisements and their uploading will be limited to one picture per day; with twenty comments in their guestbook. One of the great features about Fotolog, is that this is not a personal photo album: it is an online community where pictures can be shared with millions of people; interesting photos will have people commenting on them. Taking a look around; a person could spend hours looking at all of the amazing and breathtaking pictures. A paying member will be able to upload six photos per days and others can leave up to two-hundred comments. If a person is a Gold Member, they can even leave comments in guest books that are deemed to be full. Recent pictures will appear beside the member name when commenting, thus giving the photograph more exposure.
Now, if a person wishes to be able to post x-rated photos to share with people who are interested in the same type of art, they may do so at adult flickr. This is also an online community that will offer a user many features. Not sure what type of photos you will be posting? A person can certainly be members of more than one site. Photos are a great way to make a statement about how you are.
