Fortunately, Picuous is an easy-to-use HTML 5 container for images that allows publishers to provide sharing and embed tools directly within the photo.

This otherwise normal photo includes a link back to the source, and a host of sharing tools including Facebook, and Twitter. Those who wish to use the photo are then encouraged to copy and paste the embed code. This way, the source of the photo is credited while allowing frictionless access of your content for sharing.

Setting up Picuous in your website involves simply pasting a short javascript command on your page’s header. Once installed, all photos in your website will have the share and link-back buttons. Each image is tracked with analytics so you can view the viral impact of your photo.

Picuous is immensely useful for web content managers, online marketers, photographers, and just about anyone who wants to have an easy way to share pictures you see online.

Features:

• Embed photos in a player ala Youtube
• Puts a layer on top of your picture with a link to your website
