What is Digg?40 Comments
- chesterjosiah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Will be bought by Google.
I, for one, welcome our new Google overlords. - trvr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5i'm not sure if you understood that Snipshot is all web-based, meaning no downloading an application. I searched the irfanview site, but found nothing about it being web-based...
- hartshorne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4From the site: Snipshot was formerly known as Pixoh. We’ve been asked to change our name due to a possible trademark conflict. Please update all your links to snipshot.com. Thank you Zach Baker for suggesting our new name!
- gavintlgold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4They could integrate it into You OS (http://digg.com/technology/YouOS:_the_On_line_Operating_System) somehow...
- phytar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I like that the UI operates so smoothly, even though it isn't written in Flash. This particular site was done in Mockikit http://mochikit.com/ but is also possible with other libraries like Dojo http://dojotoolkit.org/ or jQuery http://jquery.com/
- irfaan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4this is pretty cool:) I'm hoping that SnipShot is looking to making things like hue, etc more user friendly with active selections (like scrolling and watching the hue change, etc)
overall - nice online tool. - bugbear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is great. It's faster than you'd expect web-based image editing to be. Feature request: let me add text to images.
- trvr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2in the site's defense (its not my site btw) 99 diggs does not mean 99 visitors...
- trvr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2from http://snipshot.com/features/
Top Feature Requests
* Adjustment palette with brightness, contrast, etc. controls (we%u2019re working on this now)
* let you type exact pixel dimensions for an image (this is part of the adjustment palette)
* redeye fixing - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Pretty good for what I need (Photoshop for the rest) - just save as low res and I'll be very happy.
- hartshorne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2We have not taken VC funding. We had to change the name because of a possible trademark conflict.
- TravisS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it sure beats paint
- interval, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1feature request: API allowing me to embed this functionality on my site for images that are uploaded.
- BlueFiberOp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is Digg affecting the performance right now?
- Craga89, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Great tool overall. I'd also love to see real time hue/saturation etc. adjustment. Great tool, especially without the use of flash.
- freeloader, on 10/26/2007, -0/+1Seems like there is a regular influx of online tools - not all of them are created equal, bogging down your OS and such with things... Microsoft has a power toy that allows for a quick and easy to resize digital images. After downloading pics from my camera, I can resize them all in just a few seconds.
http://howtoresizepictures.blogspot.com/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I write "edit pictures online" in google, and I can't even find it in the first page. There's not even a decent service.
On msn, however, you'll find it first.

etc.. - agoodm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They are using an old version of apache
- captainDig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1nothing special.

We don't know what will work best for us. We will try a number of things, and see what sticks. - gavintlgold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sorry about the broken link. I meant: http://digg.com/technology/YouOS:_the_On_line_Operating_System
- Herolint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Man, no matter how many times I read that, I keep seeing shipsnot. Cool site though.
- kbarrett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://pxn8.com/
- kbarrett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It can crop and re-size at the moment. I just tried it out. However many on-line photo hosting and sharing sites offer these features and some other photo enhancement features within the web app itself. Strangely, flickr does not seem to feel compelled to do so. But then again, why should they. Both pxn8 and snipshot work with flickr. When you have the kind of brand recognition that flickr possesses 3rd party vendors and developers will come to you.

I'm a little familiar with pixn8. From what I understand they are primarily B2B. Is the same true of your company's offering? - gaijintendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If you are liking this - it is worth comparison shopping. www.pxn8.com is another good find.
- z0iid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I've been saying this for more than 2 years now. And you can do this (sorta) with a thin client pc.
- diggboy101, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2This is simply amazing. I can imagine a new breed of computers in 5 years, where you start it up, it connects to an online OS, and all your applications are online based. This is a major milestone towards that time.
- inkedmn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good to see another YCombinator startup doing well!
- distinct, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is nothing new. The tool below has been around for over a year and allows you to crop, resize, remove red eye, add overlay text (from any uploaded TTF font), rotate...
http://www.neilm.com/design/index.php?page=phototoolsstart - joshkremer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is a great tool - I could see this integrated into a lot of websites. I agree with the irfaan - it would be nice to preview your changes real-time for the hue/saturation. I also think a red eye button would be very handy. Nice work!
- dangsta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yea with only 99 diggs this site is startin to lag for me =
- distinct, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Photo Tools ( http://www.neilm.com/design/index.php?page=phototoolsstart ) allows you to add text from any TTF on the server. Check out the demo.
- distinct, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Check out http://ww.siteeditplus.com
It's a site management tool that includes an image editor. - Sheaf, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1This is nothing new or spectacular. It's just that Flickr fans don't understand that some other photo sharing sites do the same stuff and do it better.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1As the other commenter said, this is Pixoh but they were recently giving funding by some VC and thus had the name changed to snipshot.
- tanaeem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Hey, isn't Picasa is better choice?
With much more feature, much intutive GUI, much faster? - sobpanic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Looks like this is just Pixoh ( http://www.pixoh.com ), name changed to Snipshot. Nothing really new.
- Phenotype, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Yeah, same company.
http://whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=pixoh.com
http://whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=snipshot.com
I guess they decided "pixoh" wasn't catchy enough.
Btw, pixoh forwards to snipshot now. I didn't notice. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Irfanview seems to be a better choice.
