The following consists of miscellaneous info which often isn't easy to find, but very useful if you take Second Life snapshots, including postcards. Historically, documentation in this area has been sparse, and Residents have provided some great resources, so this is an ongoing endeavor at compiling those in an easy place — please help keep this updated!
A state of snapshots
Did you know?
- Changing image size and quality settings have no effect on sending postcards. This is a bug (internally, SL-21141) which has persisted to this day. Hopefully, it'll be fixed. It hasn't been reported in the Issue Tracker yet, but if you happen to, garner support from fellow Residents with votes and let User:Torley Linden know.
Social sites featuring postcards
- Snapzilla - The original pioneer to really make use of postcards in such a widespread manner, its success has encouraged many Residents to share their inworld memories. As of April 2007, Snapzilla currently boasts over 150,000 pictures and is en route to a "2.0" upgrade.
- SLBuzz - Postcards are part of SLBuzz's community site offerings. It also allows uploading of photos from your hard drive.
- Flickr - The popular photo-sharing service. They recently abolished their NIPSA restrictions in favor of a content filtering system, so Residents can show their SL snapshots in public searches.
- Via Snapzilla-to-Flickr and SLBuzz-to-Flickr, Residents can crosspost to another service to have their pictures also show up on Flickr, where they can be easily organized.
- Flickr's Second Life group - The largest. Look inside the discussion area for varied photographic tips 'n' tricks.
- Links to all Second Life Groups on Flickr - There are many Second Life-related groups. More keep appearing, so this likely isn't "all" of them — add ones you notice are missing!
- You can also use Flickr's tools to upload snapshots from your hard drive, and there are a variety of 3rd-party amusements like fd's Flickr toys and Dumpr which you can apply to your images.
