(NAPSI)-Holidays, weddings, graduations, vacations and family reunions are all perfect occasions for pictures. As more Americans use digital cameras to preserve their memories, the demand for a quick and easy way to share them increases.
According to Photo Marketing Association, digital camera sales are estimated to reach 20.5 million units this year, a 70 percent increase. One reason for their popularity is that digital pictures are much easier to share because almost everyone uses, or has access to, e-mail. You may not want to attach your photos to an e-mail, however, because they could be blocked as viruses or spam. That's why more people worldwide are turning to online photo sharing sites. They are faster, easier and more cost-effective than sharing photos the old-fashioned way.
The best sites offer features that allow you to upload and share photos from your computer, camera or camera phone, as well as personalized homepages for your albums and invitation services to invite friends and family to see your photos.
One popular online service, Webshots, offers users a number of features to help make online photo sharing fun as well as simple. It lets you create slideshows, easily upload photos from digital cameras to online albums as well as track and view the photo albums of your friends and family. You can archive your photos, add captions, organize them, share them with friends, and get quality prints.
New mom Wendy Popa of Salt Lake City uses the service to keep her friends and family updated with new photos of her vacations, children and family milestones. "With most of our family living far away, we love being able to share all our adventures with everyone else right away." Friends and family can even post messages about your photos in your guest books.
