Scrapblog goes beyond sharing photos and video online, but empowering you to create your online scrapbook. I had a chance to see the product in action at Demo Fall 2006 and it’s really quite impressive what is possible inside this application. Scrapblog allows you to create world of your pictures.

Photos can be sourced from Flickr, Photobucket, or your desktop. In addition, you can also include videos from YouTube and other services. A collection of “stickers” enable you to customize things further. There are some very nice looking themes that will allow you to get a jump start. Unlike other themes, these are fully editable.

You can ultimately publish your ScrapBlog to the web and choose the level of security you want to have. From there, you can quickly embed the ScrapBlog into your blog or MySpace profile. In addition, Wordpress and Typepad integration is supported. If you’re a Flickr user, you can even export the ScrapBlog as a photo set.
