Pixrat is basically
del.icio.us for photos. I don't say that disparragingly, though--Pixrat works as advertised and will definitely be
useful for some people. By clicking on the Pixrat bookmarklet when viewing a page with a photo on it you can give the
photo a description and tags, then later you can browse your boomarked photos with handy thumbnails, optionally
searching by tag. You can also, of course, browse everyone else's photos or view the most popular recent photos. Pixrat
does lack a few of del.icio.us' more powerful features like tag intersections and RSS feeds, but those issues aside, I
can see Pixrat as being very useful people who keep track of a lot of stock photos, for example, at a number of
different sites.

Neat idea…it was just waiting to be done. However, I am disappointed with the interface (it’s in ‘beta’ already).
Pixrat, your window of opportunity is small, until Flickr, Del.icio.us, or someone else sitting in his basement does exactly the thing you are doing, but with a more Web 2.0-ish interface.

I started htt://www.pixpix.net about the same time as pixrat. I have been focusing on adding new features and trying to get it right. The more I worked on it the more it become more like del.icio.us and webjay.com. I am hoping that my site will find its own path and niche. There is no point of re-inventing the wheel. Of course some basic features are neccessary among sites (tagging, rss, etc.).
