… In yet another affirmation of PicApp and its attractiveness to bloggers and online publishers, PCMag selected PicApp to be included in its prestigious list of “Top 100 undiscovered websites“, PicApp being one of only 6 websites in the photos category. Websites were ranked based on “their content, update frequency, design, innovation and usefulness and/or entertainment value”.
We are excited to be discovered by PCMag and are looking forward to spreading the word further.
We are excited to be selected by Glam Media Network as a launch partner of Glam Apps.

We are happy to
participate and support WordCamp Israel 2008, it's happening this Sunday
November 16, 2008.
WordCamp Israel 2008 is the second annual
conference for the WordPress blogging community in Israel. Its goals are to strengthen the ties between Israeli
WordPress users, to grow the Israeli WordPress community and to increase
people's technical understanding of WordPress and PicApp is excited to align
itself with these goals.
We have recently launched our WordPress
Plug-in, the first WordPress Plug-in of full size copyrighted images and our experience
since we launch has been very positive, not only in terms of number of
downloads and increased usage but as important the great feedback and deep involvement
we get from the users— it's like joining a big caring family.
So, we'll be at WordCamp on November
16, we'll be presenting at the main entrance hall, stop by and say hi.
Our WordPress plug-in is available on WP directory, we created this short demo video to show you how easy it is to add PicApp images straight from WP editor into your post.
The images are fully licensed, come from the most prestigious content partners such as Getty Images, Splash News, Corbis and alike, these are full size images that come tagged so they improve your SEO and indexing to drive more traffic to your site (beyond the obvious value of enriching your blog and enhancing readership:)
The number of downloads in the short time since the plug-in was added is really gratifying.
Help us spread the word: if you haven't yet– give it a try and if you have– let others know of it, Digg it; Blog it, Facebook it…
Download our plug-in and start adding images to your posts!
Over the last 2 weeks we have been working on system upgrades, with the goal being to ensure our application is scalable and reliable. The actions we took were to move our servers to a new hosting service and to implement CDN.
All the preparation work is done, the move itself will take place between Monday and Tuesday. Picapp.com will be down from Monday 9 am PST until Tuesday 9 am PST. Images currently used by publishers will be down only for a short period during Tuesday morning (depending on DNS configuration each publisher may experience different downtime)
We apologize for the inconvenience, we will keep you posted via our blog on any updates. Feel free to contact us any time.
