Geotagging Your Pics With MoPho’s MoPho.to
The list of all the location check-in apps on smartphones is truly staggering and they just keep coming, with one of the latest being MoPho.to, but for geo-tagged photos. At least, that’s what it appears to be, but when you look into the iPhone app maker, ChoiceVendor, you see that their main site offers B2B (Business-to-Business) reviews. The idea is in fact to take pics at events and places, such as at a restaurant.
As TechCrunch writer Leena Rao points out, other location-sharing apps such as Gowalla do allow geo-tagged photos, though MoPhoto emphasizes the photo aspect over checking-in to locations. I’m not sure that that is a strong enough distinction. Location-sharing as it stands now, with most mobile apps, is awkward and provides no incentive. People who do it either because they’re testing the technology (possibly to write about) or just having some fun being early adopters. Personally, despite my intense interest in mobile apps development, I already have location check-in fatigue, and it’ll take a lot more features and incentive to impress me. However, being a long-time photography buff, I do like that MoPhoto’s emphasis is on photos.
