FFFFOUND! is a social bookmarking site similar in kind to del.icio.us, except that its focus is images. Using FFFFOUND!’s downloadable bookmarklet, users can “collect” images as they traverse the web. The images, once marked, are saved to the user’s profile and posted to the FFFFOUND! page.
Users can also bookmark images that have been selected by other site participants, which means the site can recommend visuals it believes are consistent with your expressed preferences.
Users can bookmark images, like this one produced by Jorinna Scherle, that others have selected. That process, in turn, leads to recommendations.
Some, like Alexander Bohn, have suggested that watching the stream of images on the FFFFOUND! site is a bit like watching an art show that’s being curated in real time. I’d agree with that, and for now at least, the quality of the images is high, probably because the site is expanding slowly while in beta.
In any case, I’ve found the site to be a pretty reliable source of design inspiration, and I look forward to assembling my own collection of other people’s images.
