Latimes.com Launches Online Photo Community Feature

Posted
By: E&P Staff The Web site of the Los Angeles Times, Latimes.com, has launched a new online photo community which will enable users to upload and email digital photographs, and create online photo albums to share with others.

Called "Your Scene", the new community area is part of a push by the site to make more of a "connection" with the newspaper's online readership. Like commercial sites, "Your Scene" has many interactive feautures allowing users to interact with each other through comments, ratings, and votes. Photographs submitted to the community site will be featured in various categories, and can be pulled into individual user albums to save.

"It is designed to offer a fun and personal forum for showcasing the best of Southern California, encouraging high-quality photography, and allowing Southern Californians to share their interests and their own collections, said Robertson Barrett, general manager of Los Angeles Times Interactive, in a statement.
