PhotoSwap

Submitted by doughnut on September 22, 2008 - 4:28pm.

Thanks be to Mike for sending me a link to PhotoSwap.

This awesome little app encourages you to share your surroundings with random people. You simply take a photo of whatever you want and it gets sent off to a random person. You'll then receive whatever photo they've just taken. The idea is simple, but it's strange addictive. I've been wandering around for the last hour or so taking random photos to send to people I'll never meet.

The app gives you the option to reply to someone's photo - so you can send another photo to the same person. As well as a "show on map" option so if you want you can see a rough location of where the photo was take. But this can be turned off if you're concerned about privacy.

A key thing about PhotoSwap is that you must participate to receive any photos. You can't simply run the app and expect to receive anything. Unless you send out photos, you get nothing back. A couple of expected features are missing, but it's only at version 1.0 so I'm expecting plenty of improvements over time.

Some of the photos I received have been attached for just laughs.
