Jerome DEMIAUX on 13 Jul 11The site for Google's new photo-related project Photovine has gone live, but the actual product or app is still missing. Located at photovine.com, the site currently features an image of a mobile app - interestingly, the device in the image is definitely an iPhone and not an Android device - and a short description of the upcoming product: "Photovine is a fun way to learn more about your friends, meet new people, and share your world like never before." The site also contains a Privacy Policy that says, "Photovine is offered by Slide (part of Google Inc)," as well as a support page that explains some details about the project. "Photovine is a community that's about creating fun and unique collections of photos that we call Vines," the support page says, explaining that a vine is "like a constantly growing family of photos connected through a common caption created by you, your friends, and people all over the world". Google also makes it clear that it will not tolerate just any kind of photo. "As a rule of thumb, if you wouldn't want your family to see it, you probably shouldn't post it," the support page says.
