Online Photo Sharing

I do not have any experience sharing MY photos with others but quite a bit of experience looking at the knitting projects others have posted.

I can definitely see the value for both personal and work purposes. Families are all over the world and this is an easy way to post one picture for many people to view. For work purposes, a screen shot of some instructions could be posted as a solution to a common problem.

I think the main benefit of posting to such a site is that you don't have to worry about whether the viewer has the proper software or can receive an attachment of this size. Since you can decide who views it, there is still some control over privacy. This is becoming more important as prospective employers are checking out social media sites to get a better idea about the persons they are considering hiring.
