AOL launches Pixcetera

Last week AOL launched Pixcetera, its new photo hub focused exclusively on top-quality photography collected from across the AOL Network and content partners Associated Press, Reuters and other major photo providers.

The new site includes weekly showcases of the ‘best of the best’ in images with categories ranging from fashion to nature to world news. The Pixcetera blog, written by AOL’s photo editors, will offer tips and tricks, interviews, reviews and trends, all focused exclusively on the photography space.

Pixcetera is easy to navigate and makes it simple to share galleries and images with others. Users can comment on and discuss photos and also rate images with the “must see” thumbs up.

Why Pixcetera?

“We saw an opportunity for a site focused on the premier image — the type of photo that stops you in your tracks,” says Peter Rivera, AOL Senior Vice President of Experience Design. “At AOL we publish thousands of images across various sites, and we’re excited to offer access to these free galleries in one, easy-to-navigate experience.”

If Pixcetera interests you, keep an eye out for the upcoming launch of “Life“. Life magazine’s soon to be released site will showcase 10 million photos from their archives with thousands more added every day.
