Probably the best known derivation of FotoNotes is Flickr's note feature. Flickr did their own implementation,
but Flickr co-founder
Caterina Fake is nice enough to credit me:
"Greg Elin of Fotonotes fame, who is responsible for us adding the annotations you can make on Flickr photographs."
"FotoNotesTM RolloverViewer is an open-source PHP script which will read a FotoNoteTM-annotated
image and create an imagemap with Javascript rollovers to display the image's notes. Use your mouse pointer to roll over the image on the right for an example."
The new photo sharing site.
A friend of mine, Thomas Madsen-Mygdal, told me he always liked the idea of FotoNotes. Now he's implemented on
the new photo sharing site 23 he's created. Here's a sample image with notes.
