Try Hoorray.com. It’s just getting to relaunch out of Beta and has a lot of really easy to use features. I like it.

Thanks for the info, Karen! It’s always nice to know of a company that someone has used and trusts.

p.s. Also, it works great for blogs, because you can post a picture w/o uploading it to WordPress, thereby using up your WordPress memory.

I’ve used Photobucket for quite a while, and am really happy with it. I think it’s a good balance of privacy (which Flikr doesn’t really have), plus the ability to share. On Photobucket, in order to share, you need to look for “group album”. You have the option to make it public, or password protected — and then share the URL and password with others whom you want to see the album. Additionally, if you choose to, you can let others add to the photo album — like if you went to a family reunion, everyone could add their pics to one album. Also people can buy prints from the album. http://photobucket.com/groupalbums/ Photobucket also allows for 1 gig of storage. I’ve been using it for 2 years, and have only used 2% of my space, and I’m certain I have over 200 pictures on there!! (And you don’t need to download any add’l software onto your computer.) You can also upload video, but I’ve never done that, so I’m not sure how great the video feature is (or isn’t).

HTH!

Thanks, NeiI! I figured somebody would be able to help me. I’ve never heard of that. I’ll give it a try!

P.S. With Snapfish, people can only download small sized photos. Picasa lets them download full-sized images.

Hi – I use Picasa for sharing pictures – http://picasaweb.google.com/homerj11 . It is free, gives you 1 GB and is very easy to use. Anyone can download individual pictures and can download whole folders if they install the Picasa software.

I use Snapfish for buying prints. You can share your albums but you have to email people for each album each time, which is a hassle. That is why I usually use Picasa.

I don’t use a lot of videos but would use YouTube for that.

Good luck!
