Hurrah!

Visit TrendWatch

Update! Flickr has fixed the upload issue. Thank you for your patience. Submissions will now work.

For those out of the loop:

“TrendWatch is a user-influenced trends gallery. Put simply, you can screengrab bits of websites or take photos of ads on the bus which show off your favourite trends and post them to our gallery via one simple email. It will be mostly added to by you and your fellow fadtastic readers.”

It’s different

Well, images are sent in and tagged by you so you have a massive influence on the gallery. There is no monthly archive to organise images. There is no admin deciding what gets into the gallery. There is no fancy review for each website featured. Images, tags and descriptions are made by you.

Think of TrendWatch as: A gallery to get lost in. A place to absorb trends by the hundred. A place to post a picture of your favourite phonebox ad.

Feedback

As with all new releases, feedback is golden. Either post a comment below or email us to letus know what you think. ( contact at fadtastic dot net )

And please do upload some images and get this innovative design inspiration gallery going. Thanks.

As i mentioned on 9r Notes, I was just thinking of getting something similar up. I guess I’ll just have to contribute what I’ve collected thus far if I don’t get something personal up.

“URGENT! It appears that flickr’s uploading facility has blown a fuse and so email uploads to TrendWatch will not work at the moment. I do apologise. The gallery can still be viewed”
so how will it work? :)

TrendWatch Explained

When flickr has fixed the issue then the gallery will work as explained. Is that clear?
