Picasa!

I've recently come to the realization that despite its popularity, not everyone has or wants Facebook. Some people are spooked by the lack of privacy; others just don't want to get sucked in to yet another time waster.  

So this presents a dilemma.  I take a lot of pictures with my iPhone, and I have a large group of people across North America I would like to share them with.  

Ideally, I need a photo sharing service that allows people to view my pictures without having to sign up for a potentially intrusive service.  Enter Picasa.

With easy access using one's Google account (something most people have) and an iPhoto plugin for uploading, I'm pretty much sold.   My public albums are available at http://picasaweb.google.com/randall.cameron -- check it out!  I'll be adding much more in the future.
