ONLINE PHOTOSHARING

Well, I'm back on board after a few weeks overseas - whew! an unexpected & sudden holiday of sorts .... and of course have plenty of photos. I was planning to put them in a special album with scrapbooking details I make up myself - but is this enough? now to see what online photosharing is all about .....

Viewed the videorecording with some scepticism of course, being a total or near total technophobe. Surprise surprise the American voice was an informing and enlightening one. I'm convinced by his message about protecting my photos from house and computer disaster. I'll probably choose the PRIVATE option since I'm not remotely interested in sharing my private journeys with anyone but my closest friends and family.

The safety issue was an excellent one. People close to me use the public option of course, young people close to me who like sharing with the universe their most intimate experiences, young people who spend hours of every day sharing their thoughts on every social network they can access. hohum

CONCEPTS AND FEATURES OF ONLINE PHOTOSHARING

SAFETY: I'm immediately sold on this one. To have an online backup, all the precious photos of a lifetime safely backed up on the internet - that's suddenly a vital thing to do and to do soon, very soon, before that house fire.

ORGANISED: This is a bonus, being able to have photos in some sort of order apart from being in obvious photo albums ..

FINDABLE: This is also impressive as each individual photo may be retrievable - often there are one or two really cool ones - like when my daughter's 21st was coming up and I was organising a powerpoint presentation for her parties - my ex and I spent hours and HOURS finding one particular one we wanted.

That's the end of my 4th blog and I'm signing off slightly more enlightened ....
