Will AdBrite's BritePic Change the Way People Share Their Photos?

TechCrunch has a post about AdBrite's new BritePic service, that lets people add extra interactive features to the images they put on their websites. By using a bit of javascript (BritePic creates the code for you, so all you have to do is cut and paste) instead of a regular tag, BritePic let's you add captions, your logo, zoom, and even an RSS feed for the images. And it lets people email the image, link to it, or even embed it in their own website. And since it is AdBrite offering this, of course you can also choose to include little ads, and you still get a share of the revenue even if the ad is clicked after someone else has embedded your image on their site!

Wanna see an example? Well, here's a BritePic I found and embedded here:



It's a shame the ads aren't contextual, but I think it'll be interesting to see if this catches on. With more and more people creating blogs, MySpace pages, and whatever else, I can see two possibilities -- either everybody ends up with some sort of monetized web presence and makes a few extra bucks (maybe enough to pay their ISP bill, or for all the ringtones, music downloads, online game fees, etc.), or all that monetization means there are ads everywhere and everybody ends up ignoring them.
