Bilddagboken

Bilddagboken (translates to "the photodiary") is a Swedish virtual community were users can upload photographs and present these to other members. The community has succeeded well on the virtual community market in Sweden, primarily because the site is aimed entirely on images, while other communities in Sweden are mostly aimed at chatting. The page is, according to themselves, "Swedens largest and fastest growing website".
