Not wanting to sound too negative, but FreezeCrowd’s timing seems a bit off to say the least. You see, FreezeCrowd is a photo sharing network. Here, people get to know each other through the pictures that they upload. These can be tagged, commented and speech-bubbled, and the idea is to enable users to make new acquaintances in a mostly visual way. FreezeCrowd always tries to stimulate conversation by showing users who might be connected to the different people who are in any photo which they come across.
So, what we are basically talking about here is a social network which revolves around photos.
The thing with this site is that it is launching into one of the most crowded social networking spaces ever. People who want to share images today resort to services like Instagram and Flickr, and Facebook is constantly making strides towards letting people share better-quality images. In the last couple of days alone its interface was overhauled, and so was its tagging system.
I understand that FreezeCrowd was devised and developed over an 11-year period. That’s what the team behind it claims, at least. I wonder to which extent such a really claim makes people warm to the site. “11 years? For what? This is more of the same!”.
I also feel that limiting the service to those who have an .edu address can but slow down the site’s adoption, in a truly unnecessary way. And the lack of a mobile app is flagrant, specially when we think that photo sharing services such as Instagram got as far as they got without even having a shred of a web presence at all.
