After my previous post about scrapblog I was made aware of a similar web application called Tabblo. The concept is pretty much the same: upload your pictures; create a scrapbook (or photoalbum) with the provided templates and share it with your friends (by invitation), with your Tabblo circle of friends (My circle), with every internet user on the planet (public), or with nobody at all (private). Once you have created your scrapbook or photo album and set your sharing preferences, everyone who has access can order prints directly from Tabblo. Print choices include poster, single picture and postcard. Finally, you also have the option to send the uploaded images to Flickr and to get HTML code to integrate your newly created Tabblo into your blog.

Tabblo’s interface is very simple and intuitive to use; and trust me when I warn you that this is another one of those applications you'll find yourself spending many hours playing around with. As with scrapblog, you can apply effects to your pictures and make them black and white or give them an old painting effect; you can add text and change the background color and much more.

Tabblo also allows you to have other users collaborate on your album (and vice versa); just remember to select the “Allow people to make variations of this tabblo” checkbox on the share screen.

I would advise you to just see for yourself; the nice thing about Tabblo is that you can start getting a feel for the application by creating your Tabblo using a set of default pictures. You will still need to register first.

Finally, Tabblo started running competitions; this month’s competition is around the theme of moving and the first prize is a Nikon S7c 7-megapixel camera.
