Re: [meteorite-list] joining Facebook or photosharing sites
Last year, I tried to join Facebook, but never got the confirmation e-mail. After due reflection and considering the recent kafuffles about personal information being so accessible on some of these social networking sites, I think I'm glad it didn't go through. Best!

Not true for Imageshack. Not true for photobucket. Been a while since I've had photos on flickr or shutterfly, so I don't know what their settings are now. But most photo sharing sites default to "anyone can view them"-- that's the point of photo _sharing_. You have to go into the settings and tinker with them to make an album private. For instance, here's a folder of mine at photobucket: http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll394/darrengarrison/nature/ Note the total absence of having to sign up for photobucket to see the pictures. That is with the default settings. No password required. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] joining Facebook or photosharing sites
So, I did some testing and experimenting. Eric, there is a link you can send out for that picture that will give the list access to see it without folks having to join Facebook if they don't want to. You get the album link when you are editing that album (scroll to the bottom of the page). But for those of you complaining about having to join something and suggesting various photo websites, please note that even if Eric had put his picture on imageshack, photobucket, flickr, or shutterfly, and had the settings done just right, you would have needed a password to access the picture on those sites as well. So "blaming" Facebook was very uninformed. In fact, from my little experimenting, I found that the privacy controls in Facebook were easier to find/adjust/control than those on the photosharing sites. Clear Skies!

You wouldn't have been able post comments on the picture unless you were logged in, but that would have been true of almost any other photosharing website as well. Clear Skies!
