Wes and Dudley have done it again.
From the makers of Gush comes FotoBuzz, a Flash application allowing you to easily annotate digital images.
The tool is remarkably simple to use, and very effective. Simple click the add comment button, position the comment over the area in which it applies (resizing as necessary), and enter the title and text for the comment in the appropriate text fields. The information then gets posted to a server side script (php or python) that process the comment and allows visitors to see the annotations.
FotoBuzz has been used to annotate a Gush screenshot. Check out the example here, and don't forget to try out the demo on FotoBuzz's main page.
Great job guys.. I haven't seen anything like this on the internet at all yet. This is a great use of Flash, and an awesome idea. Makes me wish I thought of it first!
It is really great but Flickr.com also has the ability to annotate photos and is also developed in Flash, not that I mean to take anything away from Wes, just that you said you hadn't seen anything like that before.
