SubscribeSina Rolls Out Photo Sharing Service
Sina launched a new photo sharing service on July 2nd or so. According to a Donews report, originally Sina has an old photo sharing service, but it’s on a third level domain. We can treat this as a product line reorganization.
This is a free service. Users get 100M monthly quota. Features are quite complete. You can batch upload photos by installing a software, tag photos, organize photos into albums. The service extracts meta data from the file if it’s taken by a digital camera. And different resolutions including the original size are provided. This service will take away lots of potential users from those independent services like Yupoo.
Sina hasn’t integrated the photo sharing service with its popular blog service, but it will soon. Its video sharing service has been integrated with the blog service, and has got a new domain recently.

up up . i love China!
Have you seen izimi (http://www.izimi.com). Its photo hosting/sharing service is totally unlimited (any size, any quantity, any file type), plus there is no need to upload your photos up to any server, they just sit right there on your own PC. You just right click and izimi instantly gives you a URL, link code and embed code which you use just like you were using flickr or photobucket to embed the photos. You can literally do hundreds of photos in a few seconds and there are no limits and no censorship.
Yupoo has a 60 MB upload limit, which is bad enough, but then if you hit the limit there is no way to upgrade it besides through participating in occasional photography contests: no Pro accounts or anything. I wonder if Sina will be able to accomodate power users who want to upload unlimited like on Flickr.
Another big difference with Flickr, Yupoo, etc: Sina won’t let you hotlink to their images from other sites.
