Flickr meets HotOrNot
I’ve just added several new social networking-type features to Babe Vs Babe — I like to think of it as a mash-up of Flickr and HotOrNot. Granted, I have a ways to go before Babe Vs Babe can match all of Flickr’s amazing features, but we’ll get there….
In the meantime, check out the new features by clicking on the caption of the photo, or the “Enlarge Photo” link at the bottom of each picture…. Yes, you can view larger versions of the photos now, which for some of you may be the most woody-inducing feature. Not only that, but you can now see who submitted the photo and view other photos that they’ve submitted, as well as check out their personal details, who they’ve added as contacts, who their “fans” are, and other photos that they’ve marked as favorites. Oh yeah, there’s now public and private messaging, too, so you can tell your favorite hotties just how hot they are.
I love feedback, so let me know what you think of the new features and what you’d like to see in the future!
Flickr is #1 because of soft porn. Suddenly I want to visit more often
Despite the perception of Flickr as a high-brow photo sharing site, much of its popularity can be attributed to searches for soft porn.
The interesting (and obvious) thing about this is that, well, people like porn — it’s helped Flickr grow to the size it is today. (To paraphrase Dr. Cox from Scrubs, if all the porn disappeared from the Internet, all the Internet would be is one site and it would be called, “Bring back the porn”.) Still, despite the surge in traffic I’m sure I’d see, I have little desire to turn Babe Vs Babe into a porn site… there are already plenty of those out there.
