Ofoto photo sharing

Photo sharing has become big business. Cnet recently announced the purchase of a photo sharing company called HeyPix, whose technology will be folded into their current photo sharing service called Webshots. What does this mean for your digital photo collection. It means that it's becoming more and more confusing, in terms of how to choose a photo sharing service. Let's have a look at one of the original photo sharing services, ofoto.com.

Ofoto is the original photosharing service. Founded in 1999 with offices in Emeryville, California, ofoto had gained a following of over twelve million users by 2004. Their service is robust and because it's been around for so long, ofoto promises not only an easy way to share photos online, but likely the easiest way to share digital photos with family.

Many people enjoy sharing photos online, but part of the kick about sharing photos online is being able to order print from an online photo album. How to order prints online? We tell you how! This is the way to order prints online, even from a photo sharing service. Many services do not offer the ability to order prints from a digital picture. It's always a prudent idea that before you sign up for a program and upload your digital photos, to be sure that the service offers members of your family a way to order photo prints online from your online photo album.

Thankfully, ofoto is a company that lets friends and family order pictures online. The service is entirely free. The only thing you pay for is the prints. Ofoto is now owned by Kodak, the leader in photo printing, so it's easy to purchase prints of digital photos when you know there is a reputable company like Kodak behind it.
