Back in the old days, those of us who came of age before the advent of digital photo sharing would often have to suffer through endless slideshows of other people’s vacations. To be honest, I can’t even make it through some of my own vacation photo albums. Something about the permanence of film facilitated the widespread collection of billions of photos which would have been better left on the cutting room floor. Even worse, most people displayed the good with the bad, erasing the grandeur of epically awesome images captured in exotic locales all over the world.
Digital cameras and Facebook certainly made it easier to weed out the blurry and the boring, and subsequently share those images with friends – but a fundamental problem still existed – scores of photos to browse through without any indication of which pictures were the best of the best.
Buddy Media and Starwood have developed a solution to the problem. Never again will you need to sort through those mind-numbing thumbnail menus featuring a thousand people and places you could care less about. SPG TripShare borrows the highly successful ‘Top 5′ application concept and repurposes it to suit the travel vertical. Facebook users just need to enter the application, choose their five favorite vacation photos and share them with the world. Photos can be tagged by activity or location, which will make it easy for friends to find specific photos without browsing through countless Facebook albums.
SPG TripShare features an incredibly simple concept that will make it easier than ever to share memories or even get ideas for planning your next vacation. Visit the app today, plan your next trip with Starwood, and share your top five vacation photos with the social world.
