This page includes anything to do with images or video. Entries include, hosting, editing and screen capture solutions. This is a changing space. The great thing about Web 2.0 applications is that many are free. The bad thing is they can disappear or change overnight, as they need to move to profitable models. Bolt is an example of a popular player that fell over in 2007.

Video Copying
Vixy - a greatonline video converter

Flash Video Downloader - personal favourite

Album Town
This site offers both a free package for photo sharing for the hobbyist, as well as a professional package (for a fee) for the keener users. Very well managed and ran site, that is user friendly.

Bolt
Another great site that has now gone. This site was predominately a video sharing host that also allows users to upload photos. Easy to sign up to, and has quite a large database of videos for sharing/viewing.

Fotoflexer - simple online photo editing

Fotolog
This site has a huge database of online album from over 10 million user accounts. Simple to upload your own photos and easy to navigate around the site.

Google Video
Working in conjunction with YouTube, there are millions of videos to view at Google Video. Easy to upload videos. No size limit on uploaded videos which is a major positive.

iFilm
Very professional looking site. iFilm seems to have the authority to post a lot of copyrighted materials eg. Film clips etc. Signing up only takes a few minutes also.

Imageshack
Upload your images to this site to make it easier to post these on your own websites etc. Very user friendly.

Photobucket
The largest image hosting site on the net. You can search other people's images or upload your own online album.

Photobloggers
One of the easier sites to navigate and host your online photo albums. Recommend.

PicOodle
This site is very plain, but offers the pretty much the same features as others such as Photobucket and Imageshack.

Ringo
Very popular site used by millions of users. Once photos are uploaded to the site, users can then invite others via email to view these. Great way of updating family and friends whilst on travels.

Twango
Very basic looking photo and video hosting site. Upload photos from a camera phone or your PC with ease.

Video egg was my favourite but online video is a changing space. Video egg has evolved from free video upload to an advertising video site.

YouTube
Massive online collection of videoclips. Dominates the video hosting on the net.


Screen Capture Solutions

BrowserCap
Allows you to capture the screen you are currently working on. Also allows users to print the Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox webpage as you see it, and not in a printer friendly view. Limited but can be handy.

Cropper
This is a very basic screen capture tool. Would recommend others above this one if you are after simplicity and other features.

King Kong Capture
Great tool. One of the best free options available. Has many different options for capturing images including rectangle, free hand or whole browser page.

Screen Hunter
Very simple and basic to use. Either save your cropped images directly to a selected destination or to your computer's clipboard. Personal favourite

Super Screen Capture
Great free software that gives you a 7 day trial of their pay products. Free version offers 3 simple screen capture features that are very user friendly for even the beginners.
