Mary Jo, you are such a geek. :D No wonder we luv ya! I passed around that review of the tilt by the way. Trying to convince a friend of mine in England to buy the equivalent over there instead of an iPhone ...
Anyhoo ... Flickr vs. Picassa I *heart* Flickr in a big way. I pay to be a pro member anb love it's ease of use, ability to upload via my phone, the sorting, the displlaying, the sets, the API's and the badges for other sites... I love I can send private photos, friends only photos, family only photos, etc. I think it loads faster than Picasso and I love the ordering of prints or little photo cards etc. I DO and DID like Picasso management software but decided the online versatility and popularity outweighed that. My 2.5 cents ... as worthless as that is in Euros or Pounds ...
