Less quantity, higher quality

Despite finding its main rival on Instagram, Fotolog comes back with a different proposal. According to the official website, the fact that the network only allows the posting of one photo per day encourages people to better appreciate the publication. At the same time, it avoids polluting the feed with several posts at the same time.

"We want to end the excess of publications that put pressure on the search for validation from others and, instead, we want to help you appreciate each moment that represents the best (or worst) of your day."

For those who already used Fotolog in the early 2000s, you can still recover your login and relive the good times on the service. Learn how to use the new platform both in smartphone as on the computer.

Me: This menu shows the account information like photo, name and posts. An interesting tip is that, if the user does not post a photo on one of the previous days, he can do so on another date. For example, you can post a photo from 01/06 to 06/06.
