Riya - Homepage
Riya alpha invitations went out today ( I know because I got it). Mario, this will keep you very busy now! Without wasting a minute, I registered on the alpha site and checked it out. I will be doing the uploading of images this evening. From my collection, I want to upload 4000+ images to Riya (rest I will keep it to myself for now). Just checking the basic stuff, the UI of the site has not changed much, but will know more when I upload my images and check the other options which are not available to me for now.
From Tara's blog, I found that Riya has a fan blog site now which can be found at
http://riyafans.wordpress.com , way to go! Riya fan blog should get busier and busier as the day progresses and in the coming weeks.
Just after I registered on the Riya site, I saw few things that I wanted to share. Just after I registered, I really like the bluntness in the initial screen. The screen really makes me aware that I am playing with an alpha release and there is no need to jump up and down if things don't work as expected. Well done! I know I do jump up and down a lot :). I like the way in which it is presented, bold and taggy like. I have never seen this way of presentation before.
The second screen worth a mention is as below. This is the screen where I can either download the Riya uploaders or get into the system. Looking at the bottom of the screen, there is a small note which lets me know that in the future releases of Riya, people will be individually upload images and would have a drag and drop features. Yes, I want this too :).
Finally, look at the image below. Riya needs to be trained well to recognise it's own CEO. This ofcourse is not Munjal Shah (CEO of Riya). Photo owner of this picture, where are you?
