My Social Album provides an easy way to collect photos from our friends. When we go travel with our friends, we also take a lot of photos, our friends do it so. When we come home, we want to collect some photos we like from our friends, and we also want to share our photos to my friends. In the past, we need to download the photos from our friend’s album and then upload it to our album. Our hacks use the Wretch API to implement a direct copy method to get photos from friend’s album to ours.

2. Scenario
• Go travel with friends
• somebody bring their camera
• Take a lot of photos
• we are in different camera
• Upload to Wretch Album to share
• we want to share our photos
• we want to collect photos we like

3. When we come home..
• “please send me the photos that include me”(who are you?)
• “please send me the photos that I like”(who knows...)
• “everybody send to A, and then burn it to dvd”(too slow...)
• “upload to FTP”(slow and need to download and pick...)
• “upload to wretch album and to collect the photos I want”

4. In the past, we need to..
• go to our friend’s album
• click right button to download the photos
• sometimes we need to close the javascript
because our right button is locked
• save the photos in our PC
• go to our wretch and then upload...

5. It’s a troublesome business!!
If there are n photos, we need
to download n times and then
upload n photos
