Jason Geotagging. Any thoughts of adding this feature for those of us who upload via Cell or have the camera gear to tag?

we support geo tagging today. if you look at the web albums, there is a link to "location" when we have the geo info. The iPhone geotags the photos, but if you take them using the built-in camera app and then import them to Phanfare Photon, Phanfare gets zero metadata (so no geo). This is because Apple's "officially supported" import classes for ... See Moreapps don't retain metadata. You can take the photo from within Phanfare Photon and it will have metadata, including GPS coordinates but our camera is a bit slower (again, not our design). Alternatively, you can take photos using the built in camera app and then use Image Capture on a mac to get the photos to the computer. From there, you can import them to Phanfare and meta data is retained. Annoying workflow, we realize.

The Droid Geotags photos as well, and because there is no app for this device, I email them to my account and I'm not seeing that this information carried over. I send the same test picture to Picasa and it reads the Lat/Long data just fine?

Not sure what's going on there. We actually don't own a Droid. You can email a photo to support and we can try to take a look, although the email-to-phanfare gateway is lightly used. If you transfer the photo to a PC and then upload via the web, do we pick up the geo info?

I love it! So many times the beginning of my shows isn't what I want to have as the lead image. This is fantastic! Thanks Phanfare!

Carissa Tondorf hello- is there a slowdown on the site? Uploading is wonky- taking forever and then not working at all. Same computer, same connection I always use...thanks.

Doug Golden Did you see that Roku now supports channels like Flickr? Would be great to see a Phanfare channel on Roku so we can see our Phanfare pix and movies on our television.

Your Roku box just got a whole lot more interesting. Roku, if you remember, makes the Roku player, a small device that sits ...

Flash uploader - it seems to be the default when you want to add images with the web client (at least for me).

Phanfare
yes, it is the default. we are going to allow you to change your default if you like the java one better (but still start with the flash one because it works for more people)

Darryl Lee Feature requests re: Drop Boxes. Can we 1) get a direct link (edit mode) to the newly uploaded albums when we get notifications, 2) have the subsite for the uploaded the album added to the description and included in the notification?

This would help us know what subsite somebody was looking at when they put something ...in our drop box, and help us get to those albums faster (one click from e-mail). Thanks!

Ultimately, only you can determine how concerned you are about someone taking an image. One intermediary security setup is to disallow indexing by google but still leave the site open. That way, it is not likely to be found but is still convenient for friends and family. Another option is to use a third party watermarking program.
