These are Dekoh applications, which anyone as Dekoh developer can create on his/her own and then can share them with buddies. Dekoh network will soon provide a Developer Gallery to allow developer to create, maintain and distribute their own applications and checkout popular applications.
Once you install Dekoh Photos, you can see it in the installed application listing as below,

1. Create Collection: Create a new collection,
Choose the pics you want to share,
Once done! you get a new collection added.
Your selected pictures are now imported into the collection, if required you can modify collection as below,
2. Share: You are all set to share your snaps with your buddy(ies). To demonstrate I (logged in as user - mayankmishra01) shared my snaps with my buddy (user - mayank)
Select the buddy(ies) you want to share your content.
You can see ‘Shared to’ label to instantly view the buddy(ies) to which your pictures got shared.
Great! You have shared them with your buddy.
3. Viewing Share: Even as user ‘mayank’, I received a notification email having album link to access shared album by user ‘mayankmishra01′
Let’s log in as user - ‘mayank’ to see snaps shared to me.
I can see a instant notification also on the main page of Dekoh desktop about the activity on dekoh network related to my buddies….
To access the shared content by buddy (mayankmishra01), I selected the user in the ‘Buddies on Network’ frame, and then Photos as
below,
I can see new photos shared for me,
4: Putting Comment: Accessing shared collection gives you option to even comment on the shared collection as,
We have used our pictures on Yahoo Photos, Picassa web, facebook and even on Flickr. But the prime difference which can be depicted out from this demo is that “No where we uploaded our picture collection, and no where we downloaded them”. This results in a significant advantage when we have hundreds of snaps to be shared (not uploaded or downloaded) with our mates and dear ones….
Also, Tagging, commenting and using Dekoh network provides notification, accessibility to other users, and dekoh developers. Also in regard to Dekoh Photos comments, issues, pats of the back, you can contact with Dekoh Team at Dekoh Photo Forum

Sounds like a great product I’ve got a lot of family photos on my hard drive and this sounds like a great way of sharing them with family and friends.
