Piccsy Users:
Photo-sharing is one of the most popular activities on the Internet today. Facebook alone has over 200 million photos uploaded daily.
Piccsy recognizes the social/cataloguing void Google Images suffers from, as well as Tumblr's fragmented, unsearchable network, and Pinterest's reliance on user only bookmarking.
By providing personalized streams using a uniform display, Piccsy is a social platform that aggregates images from around the web, based on customized parameters set by the user, offering a social way to discover images.
