New Poll on the Right of this Page

October 11th, 2008

The short: vote (on the side) for which photo gallery you like best.

(1) our old one

(2) new Google Picasa one

Now vote on the side.

Details:

I (Erin) am trying to come up with a way for us to more fluidly be able to manage our photos and share them. Google’s Picasa is a great photo management tool, and it can connect to Picasa Web Albums to publish photos to the web. I believe that we will be more likely to share photos more often if we had a one-click approach to uploading such as the one Google provides. Google’s Picasa and Picasa Web Albums also allow us to tag images, so you can search for people or keywords. Picasa Web Albums also generates an RSS feed of our gallery, so you can be notified when we upload new pictures.

There area few drawbacks, though. The photos would be stored at a maximum of 1600 pixels wide, though, which is only good enough for a 3×5. Of course, this is inconsequential if none of you are planning on ordering prints, and you can always email us to request hi-res versions of any picture you want bigger prints of.

Our current photo gallery, on the other hand, allows us to publish full-sized images, although we usually resize them to save space. We can’t tag images or notify you when we upload pictures.

What do you guys think?

    I am use to using the old one so it is still ok with me.

    I do print photos from there. If you change I'll just request the ones I want. I don't print often–usually holiday pics.
