I am setting up both a Wordpress site, as well as a Fanpage that are both in need of these features:

1. Users should be able to upload photo's and videos

2. Photo's and vids can be voted on

3. Photo's and vids can be categorized for easy browsing and voting for the end user

Anyone aware of applications/plugins/scripts that fit the bill? I've seen olapic.com so far, but while I wait to hear back from their sales staff, wanting to view other options.

Thank you in advance!

    If you are looking to have visitors upload videos and images to your website you need to be aware that you'll be paying for the hosting of that media. That could get very expensive if your site takes off.

    Maybe you already knew that, but I thought I'd throw it out there, anyway.

      Thanks Bill. I did not think that all the way through that my webHost would charge extra if I went overboard with a lot of bandwidth. Back to chcking my user agreement now.

    I've only seen YouTube clone scripts that do that ... not Wordpress plugins. If the idea took off, you would need a lot of space and bandwidth hosting all those pics and videos.

      Thanks. Yes. I have multiple dedicated servers, as well as S3 if I hit a massive spike, so I'm good on the bandwidth front. Just looking for the right script. I'm thinking I may just use a social media script, and de-activate the features I don't need, or customize the script after purchase.

      For Facebook, I just ran across the pic contest app that looks as if it does just what I need on that front as well. Thanks for the replies.

      I'll report back which scripts and apps worked, and which did not.
