Pikeo is a photo sharing website and an online community platform. Registered users can share their photos with either the community of users or only their friends and family, and they can also add comments. Visitors can discover photos by using a search engine, a map of the world, or their contacts' tags and home pages.
In addition to being a Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service can be used by bloggers as a photo repository.
History
