As presentations are beginning to wind down, I get the feeling that there are a huge number of useless or nearly-useless interfaces available online. I suppose everything has its niche, but I honestly cannot imagine using many of these applications. The only one that particularly stood out to me today was thinglink, the video and image annotater. The website was streamlined and attractive and allowed for a pretty unique way to share photos and videos. As someone who is into photography and videography, this appealed to me, however, I think that thinglink could be quite accessible to anyone who was interested in using it.

Of course, the only real issue is popularity. Were I to sign up for the site, I’m not sure with whom I’d share any of my photos or videos. thinglink had this covered, though. With pretty effective integration with other social media, all of my friends could see anything I’d share, which is a big plus in terms of convincing me to sign up.
