Review image bookmarking services
As is known, the era of “Web 2.0” began with social bookmarking services of the Delicious type. A year ago, starting with the acclaimed Japanese start-up ffffound, there was a need to save some interesting images you liked in the open spaces of the network using Internet services. Now, after a couple of manipulations, the picture you like is surely not going anywhere. Despite the emerging trend in the creation of such sites, the main players have already been identified; At the moment I found 8 similar services and conducted their comparative analysis.
In fact, this is the first image bookmarking service and which still works by invitation. Despite the fact that getting an invite to it seems altogether impossible, this measure is a deterrent from the influx of low-quality images, leaving it with truly unique content. Ffffound set the standard for most similar sites; has a number of hot keys to facilitate viewing, but there is no search.

Most famous after the FFFFOUND! a site that allows you not only to save pictures, but also videos from YouTube and Vimeo . Registration is open, it is recommended that tags be attached to images and videos, since it is on them that navigation is performed. There is a search and, almost everywhere now, the ability to “friend” other users and leave comments on the images.
The most sophisticated of foreign services. Powerful tagging and image sorting. Like a real web 2.0 bookmark storage service, Visualizeus allows both to share (share) and leave your pictures hidden. In addition to the usual bookmarklet, it is proposed to install a full-fledged extension for Firefox.
The “not for all” service, since you can receive the upload kit only from the creator himself. This leads to scarce, but sometimes entertaining content, which is organized by category. Links to images are direct.
Another exceptional work of one Japanese, who was very keen on the idea of the fund. Only his service is aimed at saving photos of women's bodies, and in addition to the so-called beauty image bookmarking, the developer also offers web design bookmarking in the beta (bookmarks on screenshots of all sorts of design sites). For extended use, invites are needed (the difference from the usual registration is not understood).
The first domestic analogue of foreign services. In spirit (closed collective blog) and design is close to the above site. A small highlight that distinguishes this project from others is the possibility of placing the image you like on your blog.
A powerful domestic online bookmarking tool for images, reminiscent of we ♥ it and Visualize Us. The service is well organized, provides a lot of information about the image (original size, number of views, etc.) and is available in several languages at once.
An inconspicuous resource that has all the most standard features of the above resources, but the most important is the only open source project like this. Works on a modified free microblogging engine Laconica .
Of course, these are the most basic and noteworthy sites, and there are other outspoken outsiders besides them: photagr.com (dying because of the terrible design, despite the existing adapted version for the iPhone), pixrat.ibibo.com (it works very slowly and is filled with second-rate content), photoree.com (narrow focus on photos, but a strange realization).
In my opinion, the most convenient for everyday work and use are the services: weheartit.com and vi.sualize.us (for users who prefer domestic analogues - picfor.me ). It is worth noting that on almost every resource presented in the review, you can find images with ffffound !
