After hearing the news that Yahoo is shutting down their wonderful photo sharing services, I have to continue to find my best resources for sharing photos and blogging.
Now, my last two choices are PicasaWeb.Google.com or AOL Pictures. Please read my previous blog about the comparison between Yahoo Photos, AOL Pictures and Picasa web album. I want the best photo sharing and blogging service and it has to be FREE.
I sometimes have to share just and only single photos with friends. I don’t want them to find out my other open/public gallery or album. I find the winner for this. AOL Pictures wins. Why?
Whenever I want to share one and just one photos. I uploaded the photos to the photo to Picasaweb album, I have the option to share the photos. It asked to share as Email/IM or blog. I choose Email/IM it gives me the full URL of the pictures. However, when I sent the link to my friends, the actually click and see the picture in the album.
It does show the image, but it also allow you to click the arrow to navigate through other pictures in the same album. That is NO GOOD. What is the purpose to show other pictures while I just want to share one?
I do the same thing on AOL Pictures, it turns out showing me just the picture alone.
It’s just the image no other crap. In this case I can secretly share only photo with friends.
Its’n this cool?
So what is my choice to share one photo and one photo only? AOL Pictures – Free and unlimited space.



Thank you for information! PicasaWeb is good service!
@SLAiPS:
Yes. Picasaweb is great. Flick and AOL Picture is even better.
Hi, Very true!
AOL Pictures coupled with XDrive (xdrive.com) and BlueString (bluestring.com) offers great pain relief in case you want to store more pictures.
Right now, the other services give less space and/or limited no of sets/albums for free.
Thanks.
