Photofeed

Photofeed

A photofeed is a web feed (whether RSS 2.0 or Atom) that features image (JPEG, GIF or PNG) enclosures. They provide an easy, standard way to reference a list of images with title, date and description.

Photofeeds are to images as podcasts are to MP3 files.

Possibilities

A photofeed can contain:
* all pictures in an online album
* all images tagged with the keyword "sunset"
* an Amazon.com wishlist
* a list of houses for sale
* a list of desktop backgrounds (used by a screensaver)

Providers

Photofeeds are offered by image sharing sites like the following:
* Flickr
* Incredimazing

Photofeed aggregators

A photofeed aggregator is a piece of software that accepts subscribable RSS 2.0 syndication feeds and downloads or precaches higher resolution images (rather than thumbnails) for later viewing, such as when offline. There are not a tremendous number of photo aggregators yet. (please add)
* iPhoto from Apple Computer
* [http://iondb.com/player/ ION]
* Zencast Organizer from Creative
* Google Photo Screensaver (Windows Vista)Google Pack's Screensaver is also photofeed-capable.

See also

* Media RSS
* Photocast, a similar but incompatible implementation by Apple Computer
* Web syndication
