I see Webshots will be no longer. I'm not sure I like the way Smile is set up. What does everyone else use for photo sharing? I want to be able to embed photos on here (not just links) and set up in albums and maybe put videos up, too.

Help!?

I use Photobucket. I think it is pretty easy and I like that they have a mobile app as well.

Photobucket, Flickr, those can both be free. I use SmugMug for all of my photography stuff. You do pay yearly, but I like the way it's set up and it never messes with the quality of my images.

I've been a photobucket user for 8 or so years. I've always been happy with it.

Good to know about Webshots! I swear I used it Monday and didn't see anything about it going away. I've had Webshots since college when it ran my screen savers.

I switched to Photobucket a long time ago and it works just fine. I don't load videos there, but rather use youtube, but I suppose I could.

Webshots never worked that well for me...and webshot videos always crashed any computer that I was on...to the point that I won't click on a link to a webshots video.

They are transferring all photos to "Smile" by Webshots, which is the new company name. I guess a while back Webshots was purchased by American Greetings, but it didn't turn out to be something they wanted so they sold it back to the founders of Webshots. I looked at Smile and don't really "get it" - the format looks weird, but maybe that will change after they are done making the transfer?

If you don't sign on to Smile before December 1 your photos will be gone (or maybe it was November). Otherwise, they'll be transferred to Smile and you'll still have access to them. You can download them all to your computer before the deadline as well.

I need to do more research on this but I was disappointed my albums seemed to be no more on smile? Everything seemed to be random. Problem for me!
