Bathroom Graffiti and Photo Blogging

(Page 2 of 2)

Amour — Bloggers from 200 countries upload pictures of lip-lockers in action. The happy couples must agree to have their pictures posted. Some of them look like they really enjoy having their photos posted.

Necropolis — Spanning the globe for the creepiest graveyards on Earth.


With so many cell phones equipped with cameras, mobile photo blogging — or "Moblogging" — is becoming commonplace and uploads are instantaneous, especially when news breaks.

After the Dec. 26 tsunami barreled across Asia, members all over the world posted photos, some showing devastated areas, others recording relief efforts in their own communities. Many blogs this week are devoted to the legacy of Pope John Paul II.

"You should see it, when there's an eclipse," says Seifer. "You'll see a perspective from city to city."

Anyone can sign up and begin posting pictures for free. But once you get hooked, you may subscribe to Fotolog's premium services to load up on additional space for pictures and comments from visitors.

"Unlike traditional blogs, where you have to come up with something interesting to write every day, a photo blog lets someone express themselves with images," says Seifer. "And that's more relevant for some people."

Seifer certainly isn't discouraging eccentrics from joining Fotolog. On his own "Get in My Belly!" blog, he's photographed every meal he's eaten for the last 30 months.

Talk about a feast for your eyes: More than 20,000 people tune in each week to check out Seifer's latest bowl of Lucky Charms or Chinese takeout. The visitors' comments have proven to be food for thought.

"A guy from one country wrote that he had never before seen bananas on breakfast cereal," he said. "They don't do that where he comes from, so it was an eye-opening picture to him."

I've got to hand it to Seifer. I can't imagine photographing every meal I eat, but that could be the makings for America's next great foolproof diet.
