Photo Sharing
• Online photo
finishing since
1990s
• Subscription based
• Peer based
• Web albums and
Social Networking
sites
Photo Sharing : A brief history
A few popular photo
sharing sites…
Many more such
sites Atpic,
MijnAlbum,
Phanfare, Shutterfly,
SmugMug, Snapfish,
Webshots, Woophy,
Zooomr
The world b4 Foton…
A few problems Multiple sites require
separate uploads. Tiresome to upload
same photos individually to each site.
Lesser visibility
The world b4 Foton…
Foton 1.0
Foton 1.0 Design Overview
Using Foton user should be able to:
Upload graphic content(video and audio) to multiple sites in a single process.
Register for channel feeds to images.
We aim to propose Foton as an architecture to develop applications for central content distribution.
Evolution of Foton…
Volume and visibility implications of Foton architecture
Increased visibility of content.
Exponential increase in graphic data available via the web.
Financial implications of Foton architecture
Possible end to Google’s monopoly of online advertising revenue for the graphic content market.
Implications of Foton
Implement Foton architecture as an application for image sharing via the internet. Initially target sites with standard APIs. Determine scope of automation using HTML source analysis for sites not providing APIs. Document and analyze challenges faced to refine architecture for video sharing.
Foton 1.0
Java application Uses Java APIs and POST methods offered by the sites
Foton 1.0 Implementation
APIs must. Not feasible to automate login using browser.
Heterogeneous flows by different websites.
Different authentication flows
Flickr versus Picasa
Different Feed method
Flickr versus Picasa
Foton 1.0 Challenges
Websites have common underlying functionality.
Standardize APIs across sites wishing to add their visibility to Foton.
Increase scope of APIs from image distribution to include video and files.
Evolution of Foton as unified information distribution application.
