Photo stories

Tabblo looks like an easy and attractive way to group photos into mini online albums. Ned Batchelder, who works there (and who I've known for a while), has an example of a format that tells a little story. And here's an example of another format, although this one could use some annotation — what the heck is Ned doing at the White House? You can tag and comment. You can buy prints.

Tidepool provides a different way of stringing together photos. It's more tag-based, with lots of options for how you want to sort and organize. (Flash demo here.) [Tags: tabblo tidepool ned_batchelder photos tagging everything_is_miscellaneous taxonomy]

Thanks for the link! About the White House: the whole story is here: Sue and Ned's Excellent Adventure

So, Ned, does Tabblo enable/encourage you to link to your entry so we can find the narrative?

I think a program like Comic Life on the Mac is the perfect solution for telling photo stories.

Here's an example I did:

Tabblo's can have text (and links) in them. I made the tabblo before I wrote the blog post. Thanks for prompting me to add the link!

Thanx for the link!! But I suppose Flickr is the best ways to share, sort , search and store the photos online. It aims to take photo storage beyond the "album" concept.............but for a change, i wanna give a try.
