Tracking down sharing services that are free, quick and technologically foolproof — no matter how old you are.

Excerpt:

(Some of these sites require you to upload one picture at a time, which is like mowing your lawn with toenail clippers. Therefore, my original wish list also included, “Must offer a mass-uploading program.” But then Zach, my 16-year-old intern, told me that “everyone” just uses PictureSync, a free, elegant, effortless program that can batch-upload photos to any sharing service. Nice. It’s at picturesync.net.)

After examining eight free photo-sharing sites, I discovered that each specializes in a different area. In other words, Flickr’s clumsiness as a peruse-then-print store wasn’t necessarily its fault; it was mine, for misunderstanding its talents.


Comment: Good read. Why limit yourself to only one? Mass uploads are a key feature.
