From the founders of Phlook, and they say, “Yes, almost 4 months into Private Beta, the time has now come to unleash Phlook upon the world! Signing up no longer requires fiddling about with invitations.” By the way, Phlook aims to create a web 2.0 interactive photo-sharing website that creates better ways to organize and manage photos, increases the desirability of each photo and increases the publicity of members and their photos. Our editor (BL – who is ready to frankly declare any possibility conflict of interest) is currently mentoring this interesting start-up with a venture capitalist from Thymos Capital LLP, and btw, he managed to convince his fellow partners and advisory board that Phlook is no clone of Flickr and iStockPhoto, but something more interesting. So, if you are game for something different, check their service out. You can also check out an independent review from a Malaysian tech blogger here in GreyReview.com who walked to BL during a Barcamp and discussed his review about this start-up.

    It sure does resemble Flickr and istockphoto a lot. I don't know if they have enough money to sustain the service compared to Flickr and iStockphoto. Especially with the demands of serving users with a free service.

    I like the patriotism, but go out of Singapore and reach a wider international audience. Attack Flickr and istockphoto hard in segments they don't cover well!

    Maybe have an upload your favorite Bush (George W.) photo contest next? That'll raise some eyebrows!

    And isn't it too early to lose users through Google Ads!
