Free min.us photo sharing service has many pluses HTML5-based service easier than Flickr for sharing photos, slideshows SITE:http://min.us We have launched a free photo-sharing service called min.us that makes distributing slideshows of your pictures,images as simple as dragging and dropping them onto a Web page, then sending out a resulting short URL via email, Twitter or Facebook. You simply go to the site – now in beta -- and then drag pictures onto the page from your computer’s photo files. You name your gallery and are given two short URLs in the min.us format: one you can send to others to let them view your masterpieces and the other you can bookmark in case you want to edit your gallery. The min.us platform was written using Python and JavaScript and is designed to support HTML5 browsers including Chrome, Firefox 3.6+and IE9, though “falls back†to Flash to support older versions of these and other browsers. Other technology underpinnings include the open source Django Web application framework as well as MySQL, Memcached and Ubuntu. Min.us uses the Amazon EC2 compute cloud and its Elastic Block Service to store the database for high availability and the S3 service to store image files. On tap for min.us will be a cookie-based gallery tracking system, user registration and an increase in the allowable image size limit from 3MB to 7MB. Currently, 50 images can be included in a gallery, and images can be in many formats, including JPG, GIF and PNG. Images will be kept indefinitely and uploaders’ identities are kept anonymous (however, the min.us FAQ notes that we do track IP addresses just in case they’re needed to report something like child porn pictures).
I think the site needs more work. Looks like a box in a wide open desert. The site maybe very functional but you also want it to look professional.
