The rise of DailyBooth
Focus on photos, with blogging as a sidenote.
Are you a Boother? Do you and your friends use DailyBooth?
If you’re adult; chances are slim. You might use something similar such as EX1 or EX2 – facebook apps that allow you to post daily photos of yourself.
Now take that and cross it with a micro-blog community like Twitter or Tumblr, let it organically grow in social groups of students (*Cough*), and you have DailyBooth.
Attending Tomorrows Web last summer, a few young technorati mentioned the site, and I’ve heard sporadic mentions over the year, but a recent tweet finally dropped the penny!
Still need proof? There are no stats to backup this assumption up, but just watch their live updates page for a 1 minute or so.
