YouREP.com - A first look

Florian Cervenka from yourep.com contacted me a couple of days ago and informed me about his new Flickr alternative. Since it is still in Alpha state or just getting Beta, it's really hard to compare it to long standing sites like Flickr or 23, so ... I simply will try not to compare them at all but but instead state what I like so far about yourep.com and what I don't like (sorry Florian, but you asked for that ;)).

Note: These comments are made after just browsing the page as a guest, so what I'm writing here might be incorrect. The time has come for me to stop registering at every Web2.0 app that might be interesting ;) I simply grew tired of scanning each TOS and privacy guidelines for the world "soul".

Thanks for taking the time for looking at the site and writing about it. You got everything correct - no errors.

I want to give more details about some parts: Paid accounts: yes.. we will have storage space ad ons after some time. Perhaps we even give away more space for free - we'll see that after some time. Basically if there are enough impressions we have enough income - I do have experience in free file hosting. API: I didn't work on it for some time now since I have set my priority: the service itself. Authentication for web-applications is already done – that was the biggest part. I will start working on it in 2-3 weeks again. Until then I the service should be in beta. Stuff I'm working on right now: a batch-editor (organizer – so nothing unique) and image editing tools (contrast, brightness, crop, color-overlay). Also the group-function still needs a polish.

Again thanks for writing about yourep – I'll give you an update on the service soon ;)

Flickr also has some only-last-200-photos limit in free account. The maths question is great,btw! This is the way forward!
