Aren't we all?

Thing 4

One can certainly spend a lot of time perusing others' holiday snaps.  Miss Shelved finds it more useful to already have something to look for (the URL of a cousin's wedding, or the snaps of little Lilly's dance recital, for example).  Otherwise, the tags seem awfully broad.  What some of those pictures had to do with librarians is anybody's guess.

One would not feel comfortable recommending such a site for research purposes.  Some of the content is questionable for elementary eyes, and one cannot assume that all holiday snaps were correctly labeled (how many whale watchers could correctly identify the species weeks after the cruise, for example?) 

No photo service is currently on Miss Shelved's bookmark bar, but the offer of a safe haven is not to be scoffed at.  This is something she will need to rectify, and soon.

As to the public availability, choose wisely, or never run for public office.

We did check out the Picnik feature, and it was useful, though it did not offer much more than one might have already applied in iPhoto before uploading.
