http://www.Buzznet.com

Buzznet.com is an online photo-sharing community that allows its members (registration free) to upload images from mobile phones, and post, syndicate and republish digital photos in their blogs. For RSS feeds, look at the bottom of each user page, gallery, community gallery and friends listing.

Marc Brown and Anthony Batt, experts in software development who have also created a unique image publishing software called Photocommunication, founded this site in 2002. Images can be tagged with one or more "buzzwords," (similar to tags) to make it easier for others to search for the images. The site also has a search tool with different options.

The site has an active community thanks to the journals, people and photos. Most of the material is raw as the photos document a personal moment or sight. Therefore, many images have a less polished look, but a higher degree of realism and personalization.

49PM's Photo Search is a free online service that allows you to search the Internet for photos that can be immediately viewed and saved on your mobile phone.

With 49PM technology, it's also possible to view each photo summary and the Internet location. The technology works on almost any Java-enabled mobile phone with a color display — these include many models such as Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Siemens, LG, Samsung and others.

49PM's Photo Search uses Yahoo!'s image search, so you can search millions of photos on the Internet. Photos are downloaded through the 49PM MobileServer, which pre-formats photos before sending them to your phone. This optimizes download times and ensures the photos are formatted to fit your phone's display for your viewing enjoyment!

To download the free beta version, point your mobile phone's browser to www.49mobile.com, select your phone and download. Or, download the application to your PC, from which you can upload it to your phone.

49PM has a unique ability to search for images from blogs. When it finds images, you can see which blog and article they are in and easily add them to your personal online-based image archive. Alternatively, 49PM spits out a small snippet of code which allows you to immediately re-use the image (assuming the rights to do this are explicitly given) in your own site or blog (with automatic full credit to the original poster).

49PM searches all accessible blogs and indexes the newest off-beat photos, audio, podcasts and videos and makes them available and re-usable through its effective online-based interface.
