Buongiorno Italia! MyGreatWorld.com launches Italy-portal of the fast, free & acclaimed photo-community
 |
| Free Photo-Community, Private Travel-Descriptions, Open Database-Project |
Travellers and residents alike can now upload their pictures of this astounding country, which is blessed with an almost unrivalled diversity in nature and culture: Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin, the Sicilian Cosa Nostra, San Marino and the Vatican City - Italy has everything to fascinate visitors for more than a single holiday and impressions of this amazing country are always an eye-catcher.
With www.MyGreatItaly.com now opened for the public, the highly praised MyGreatWorld-Project takes another step to mapping the world with photos, inviting all fans and travellers to share their impressions of Bella Italia with the community.
At the main page of www.MyGreatWorld.com users find a reduced and well-planned menu without dispensable and unwanted gadgets or pop-ups. All elemental functions are within easy reach and it is not before the choice of a country that the second (and more detailed) menu expands, allowing new users to register and old users to login.
Besides the time (year or even better: year & month) and the category of a picture any further description a user enters will be additionally indexed for key-words. The same goes for the photo's title. Structures and designs are straightforward and comprehensible.
Creating new spots (or uploading to those already generated) within the map-based and simple upload-section is a breeze - as is the plain searchbar that will produce the desired results in most cases. The advanced search, on the other hand underlines the fact that the sites of MyGreatWorld.com offer more than a mere pool of pretty pictures:
It allows for combinations of various search-parameters including the time of the capture, the motive, the spot, key-words in title or description and even the filtering for a certain photographer.
Italy’s unrivalled landscapes and its ancient cities with their narrow passages and unique cultural background make visitors wonder with awe - and MyGreatItaly.com is a welcome way to present this beauty: For visitors. For residents. For friends. Worldwide.
"The site lives from the users' engagement and from the belief that on an international level there are no 'mundane' or ‘mediocre’ photos: The world in all its facets is very well worth seeing and what's 'interesting' is in the eye of the beholder..."
With MyGreatWorld.com Marco Stuewe and Thorsten Scherff prove that a free and fast service can become an alternative to commercial websites and that a functional, well developed layout helps to effectively categorize uploads, to provide access to the data inserted and – in case of MyGreatWorld.com – to communicate the beauty of the world.
