I have seen many niches come and go in the last year and I’m not sure if Social Shots will survive the coming year. It is basically a community portal where everyone may post game screenshots. Those screenshots can be tagged, rated and commented on by registered users.
Visitors can browse the screenshots by using the tagcloud at the top of the main page, by browsing the pages that display twelve screenshots each or by browsing the random images that are shown in the left sidebar. That’s pretty much all I can say right now about Social Shots.
What I like is the tagged approach which makes it easy to find screenshots of games that you like or want to play and the easy way to navigate the website. The biggest con is probably that there is not much content yet, only fourteen pages of screenshots which means there are currently less than 200 screenshots available.
I guess it could become a pretty solid niche website if they manage to interest enough active users who upload screenshots regularly. Getting their hands on “soon-to-come” game screenshots would probably boost the traffic quite a lot.
