Piclyf -- understanding 'the picture community'

I got to know piclyf when it was still twidl.it. I'm not really sure why they changed it to piclyf -- anyhoo, I'll find out about if I could get hold of its busy team behind it. (Here is actually a short explanation.)


You know it took time for me to 'enjoy' this application. It's because I don't know how to fit it in my life. Yes, I build relationship with whatever applications that came into my life. I'm a 'mobile' fan, I took pictures from my phone then share it to either twitpic, posterous, flickr, or send a gallery of pictures to my multiply or picasaweb. (But I beleive they are cooking for mobile apps and also posting via email/mms). So it was a problem for me on how to use piclyf. I mean using it in a way that is like more natural for me.

Then, after some time, I realize that it fits for people who are always on their laptop, or desktop with webcams (but then who does not have one now?). I do am always facing computer but the thing is I don't know how to use webcams. Except for that one time, when a friend of mine asked me to have that video-call. That's my first awareness of webcam fun.

Anyway, I cannot help but associate piclyf to the mac fans. You know how mac users have that photobooth app (photobooth is the name of that picture-thingy apps of mac right?). So I'm thinking the team behind this app are Mac fans?

Of course, piclyf is more than sharing pictures from your webcam. You can share pictures uploaded from your computer, from a website link, and your doodle.

So finally, after some time of tinkering on it, I finally found a place for it in my life -- making the most out of my webcam. 

I'm running a show there called show-off, please friend me there. =) 

Please join the picture community at PICLYF.COM, and enjoy a new way of sharing pictures. or simply find a use of your webcam.
