Weekly art websites: image bookmarking
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This week's selection includes five art websites that feature online image bookmarking.
1. Ffffound! - http://ffffound.com/
Ffffound! lets users recommend and share interesting images they have found with others on the web. Ffffound! also provides (invited) users with personalized collections of images that have been hand-picked to suit their tastes.
2. Oobject - http://oobject.com
OObject is an image bookmarking site that curates similar sets of images. The website combines design blogging with images of technology and gadgetry to create visually interesting sets of photos. These lists (which can feature unusual combinations such as "13 disgusting pepsi flavors" or " 12 failed Apple products") are then rated by members of the Oobject community.
3. We Heart It - http://weheartit.com/
WeHeartIt presents bookmarked images within a slickly designed user interface. The service appeals to users as it gives them the ability to tag and comment on images they "heart." Users can create a personalized page featuring their favorite images and videos and can interact with an active social community of image-lovers.
4. Vi.sualize.us - http://vi.sualize.us/
Vi.sualize.us is a downloadable Firefox extension that lets you bookmark the images that catch your eye as you explore the web. Bookmarked images are saved to the Vi.sualize.us site so other users can see your visual tastes.
5. Typeish - http://www.typeish.com/
Don't let the bright yellow notepad background fool you. Typeish is also an image bookmarking database website. To play, users have to send an email to the Mexican creators asking for an "upload kit." The website has a strong affiliation with images created by graphic designers and gives image search a "fresh feel."
