Derek showed me his site Appicture.
– the logo has evolved
– it has connecting Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, and Google + (I’d like to do this and possibly give users more options for submission)
We discussed the most difficult part of creating Appicture. Derek said the biggest challenge was getting people to actually use his project. I’ve thought about this with my project and I’ll admit, I’ve been a little worried that there won’t be many (if any) submissions. So, I’ve been thinking about what makes photo blogs like Pictory thrive. Like we have discussed in class, an “angle” is necessary to get people interested. Pictory always has great themes. That’s why I need to highlight the things the student body cares about. For example, the Anti-Abortion protests today would be a great issue for people to submit photos about. I can tell it’s a big deal because a simple meme referencing the protests posted to the “University of Maine Memes Page” gained over 750 likes since this morning. Actually, the campus memes page might be a great way to gauge what the student body is thinking about the most at a certain time.
