“Imagine if a Facebook rival emerged that didn’t require users to surrender their rights, and that rewarded them for their creativity with real dosh. Who’d want to stick around with the old Facebook that doesn’t do either?” we mused last year.
Well, although it isn’t pretending to be a Facebook rival, or pay you, something halfway to that goal launched in London yesterday: a photo sharing social network for families and friends' personal photo archives called Clixta.
It’s one of the first of more than 90 Copyright Hub projects to go public. Clixta’s avowed purpose is to digitise and share your ancient family photos, the sort which remain in dusty shoe boxes.
