Fotolog’s product is the ability for users to create personal online diaries to store photos and narrative accounts of their lives. These are essentially personal blogs which they can share. These blogs are more picture oriented than word oriented, which makes sense given Fotolog’s name.Fotolog users can also sort themselves into groups based upon geography, personal interests, profession and other criteria.
