Are Online Photo Albums The Way To Go?

How many of the digital photos you take with your digital camera end up just sitting around on your computer? If you’re like the rest of us, most of your digital photos are neatly tucked away on your hard drive never to been seen, by anyone, including you.

There are a few excellent sites, and the big players are all in evidence. Hewlett Packard has its own site, Snapfish and last year Yahoo bought Flickr.
