First look at Fotonauts

Authors service and Mac-client Fotonauts not satisfied with the existing photo sharing site. According to them, they did not provide users with a convenient bootloader (it is reported that only 5% photos falls on popular services, and in most cases, a photo sent by email - it's easier). In addition, the photo service does not unite people and uncouple them - users of different photo sharing site can not together to create albums, joint work in most cases is limited to the ability to leave a comment…

Make the world a little better photographers decided to former technical director (CTO) of the company NeXT, Jean-Marie Hullo (Jean-Marie Hullot) and several Apple Applications Division employees. And there was a service Fotonauts.

Now Fotonauts - is primarily Mac-client, which provides access to photos in Flickr, Picasa, iPhoto and Aperture. Teamwork is to ensure that users can fill albums of different services. For each photo is invited to pick up an article from Wikipedia and Google Maps data indicate. And as long as it looks good, one of the most popular albums, World Heritage Sites, contains hundreds of photos attractions, carefully sorted by countries and cities and supplemented brief information of "Wikipedia".

Fotonauts bet developers make to the community. With the Mac-client you can subscribe to interesting galleries and wonderful photographers. There is an opportunity to socialize, but as arranged comment, I do not like.

While "fotonavtam" is missing two things - stability of the application and yet the normal boot loader that would know how to post photos to multiple services (Flickr & Picasa).

P.S. Fotonauts are in the stage of closed testing, Invites I do not have (as will - share). On the project page, you can leave the e-mail address, I was invited to relatively quickly.
