Ibition Blog - First post

This is the first Ibition blog entry so lets start with the first things first: What is the ibition blog about?

Ibition will cover events and photos from around the globe as they pop up. Yes, as they "pop up" sounds about right since this blog will be using photos from Ibify, a map-based photo service to publish the photos: It lets anyone take photos anonymously on their mobile and the photos will popup on the map in the exact location where the photo was taken in realtime.

What makes Ibify especially interesting is anonymous photo sharing. The fact that all photos can be submitted anonymously by anybody and anywhere. Anybody with an android-phone that is. Even photos from events covered in this blog could have been photographed by anybody just publishing a photo at the right time & location. Events in ibify are specified by "drawing" the event areas bounds on the map and giving the start & end time. Every published photo falling inside the time and area will be added to the events gallery.

Ibify was officially released three weeks ago (just before newyear 2012) but there are already some interesting photos. Let's have a look at some of the most popular photos (click on photo for original)...
