PhotoSwap Is Gambling With Good Taste

by Scopique 9. October 2008 20:35

Enforcer turned me on to PhotoSwap, an iPhone app which is elegent in it's simplicity. You take a picture and send it off into the aether of the Internet, and you get a random photo from someone else. It performs well over Edge as well as WiFi and I assume 3G because all it does it send your photo off and send you one in return.

For the first 24 hours, this was a real hoot.  I was taking pictures of all kinds of junk around the house, at work and, yes, even while driving (not too many, though). I was getting a lot of the same back. People's appliances, their dashboards, random stretches of highway, etc. 

I've rather cooled on the app, though, for a few reasons. First, I've run out of things to take pictures of. Second, there's only so many coffee pots I can look at. Third, and probably most importantly, the entire community seems to be made up of males who have some variation of "Ladies! Flash me! I don't report!" in their profile comments. This is circular, of course: the community, full of men, isn't going to get any females to flash them. Sorry. 

I know, there are those out there who have a girlfriend or wife who HAVE obliged these random peeping toms, but I think in my 24 hours of snapping, I only got one female image, and it was of jewlery on her arm. Rather then risk getting that one, unsavory image of the nethers of a representitive of the mostly male community, I think I'm going to remove PhotoSwap from my phone as an insurance policy.
