You already know pinterest is hot like butter on a buffalo. You also know instagram and twitter love consuming mobile phone photos like a lawn mower eats grass. And who knows what is going to happen with Oggl from hipstamatic. The challenge for most of us is how to intelligently create a pinterest / photo experience on our ecommerce sites without heavy custom development that requires ongoing maintenance. Enter, Olapic.
Olapic does a few cool things but essentially you can import and display photos from around the interwebs using hashtags and similar. If your panicking about how to control what appears on your site you needn't, there is full control over what goes up and what doesn't. Curated people, curated.
What would Olapic be cool for?
You can have customer product photos appear on your product detail pages.
Run hashtag photo competitions and have sexy looking pinterest style pages showcasing all the entries to the competition.
In Olapic's words they you can collect, curate and display photos from facebook, instagram, twitter and more.
