80 Photographers + 36 Networks = 257 Connections
By Brian Auer • August 5th, 2008
We had a great response to the mini-project I announced last week on the topic of social networking and social photography. It’s always great to follow and connect with people of similar interests on the social networks, and as photographers we all have a lot in common. Personally, I’m far more included to accept contact with people on these networks if I know they’re a photographer — and from what I can tell, most of the links you guys provided were totally on-topic.
I was really amazed at how many different networks we’re a part of — some that I hadn’t even heard of before. All of the links left in the comments of the project post are listed below, separated by the network/website (most popular first) and listed in the order that they were received. If you’re part of these networks, check out these fellow photographers. And if you’re not a part of these networks, now is a good time to get started!
Enjoy the links folks, and go make some friends! (and let me know if I’ve messed up any of the links or left any out).

wow, great list - I’ll definitely will have to check out the links. Thanks for this great idea
People can digg this at the following link: http://digg.com/arts_culture/80_Photographers_36_Networks_257_Connections
I think this was a great idea.
I just saw these posts and would love to participate if it’s not too late. Here are my links…

Thanks for doing this and all the work it must have taken to sort everything out. I’ve already found some new contacts and through that websites that I’ve added to my news reader. I look forward to digging through more of this list.
@Jenni Wow indeed! I didn’t realize that we had so many links until I started putting this thing together. My copy & paste fingers are very tired.
@Mathew Thanks for the Digg man!
@Jenny You’re certainly welcome to leave your links in the comments as you did.
@laanba No problem, anything for my favorite photographers. Excel spreadsheets are my friend (which is why I had you guys just drop the url in the comment — way easier to copy and paste to the spreadsheet).
Thanks Brian. You deserve some kudos yourself for the hard work and ideas.
Some of these folks were on almost all of the networks! Wow!
This was a very good idea Brian. Thanks to you and this list I found more interesting contacts on flickr and some other networks. I think this mini-project is a success.
Thanks a lot Brian! I will go through the links in the near future.
Thanks Brian!
I’m surprised to see that I’m the only one on dopplr. It’s a great way of keeping track of where you and your friends are, and it suggests possible encounters with people from your network while you’re travelling. (I’m not affiliated with them, btw)
Very interesting, will take some time to look through
Great article, very useful!
Hello Brian
And now your blog in my Friendfeed

thanks and sorry !
Now, had there been blog links, that’d be cool too. I suppose I’ll search around and peek into a few of these folks. I like blogs though, much more personal I feel. Thanks for the link love!
Great idea Brian! I’ve just recently found your blog, but I’ll throw my flickr address here:

Hi Brian,
Thanks a lot for this project!
Is anyone on Ning?
http://photographybiz.ning.com/
PictureSocial… Hmm. Now that’s something to check out.
Shoot, I saved the other page in my RSS as “new”, meaning to participate, but got busy. Here are mine:

Thank you, Brian.
Thank you.
I’m surprised there are more forums listed to be honest. But holy link list!
How did I miss this the first time around?
