About a month ago, I decided to use Picasa Web Albums. After arriving back from Argentina, I realized if I were to upload my pictures to Picasa Web Albums, I would very quickly run out of space.
Michelle who was on my trip had her photos on flickr and my friend Brian in Betahouse used flickr. So, I decided to give it a shot. I love it and wouldnt switch back. Read the rest of this entry »
