Photo Sharing The Night Away

The internet has given us many ways to communicate with others and one of these ways is photo sharing. I personally have not used online photo sharing sites to share photos, but I have searched them just to see what it’s all about and I have to say it’s a lot easier than the old way of sending photos through the mail, and cheaper. Many people use photo sharing sites to keep in touch with loved ones and family, but it’s good for other things like if your an artist are graphic designer you could build a online portfolio to show you work to others that might be interested in hiring, are buying your work. Sharing photos with family members that are separated by many miles is a popular use of photo sharing; furthermore, it gives the solders that are abroad a chance to see family back in the States. No longer do the solders have to wait for a letter to arrive, they just log on to their preferred photo sharing site and start viewing and sharing. Parents can post photos for the kids off at college to help with some of the home sickness that sets in for someone that is off on their own for the first time. Companies can even benefit from photo sharing sites in a way that will let their customers share their experience of the product are service through photos with other likeminded folks, and show off new products. Here is a short list of sites that are for sharing photos if you want to see more just Google it and start surfing away:

As with any thing that is posted to the internet photos are no exception, once they are posted its’ there forever, you truly cannot delete them they are somewhere and can come back to haunt you later, so be careful what you post, once it’s caught in the net any one fishing online may find them.
