Your videos are awesome tutorials for all web newbies. I love it. Short, sweet and to the point. I hope you realize how much impact your work has.

Thanks and keep rockin.

Terrific! Love it and just in time for me in 2008. I have 2 pre-cons and 2 breakout sessions on Flickr in February & March. This video will certainly be used in my pre-cons. I will link it to my video resources and photo sharing wiki pages, too!! Thanks!

Waw... you guys found a fun, easy and simple way to convey complicated messages. I honestly think it is brilliant… I am particularly interested in what you do because my work revolves around spreading the word about products and services and educating users on a global basis. Before I forget, I also mentioned your work and placed one of your clips on my International Communications blog (http://kgoldrajch.blogspot.com). Congratulations on the excellent work.

Lee & Sachi:

Way to keep rockin' with the videos! The quality, presentation and pace are "right on". I can't wait to share this with my family and friends.

You guys are th best on the web with this stuff...

Thanks so much! You've inspired me to get more of my photos online, and make them 'public' too.

Lee,

I love your Paperworks videos. I look forward to each new one that comes out. You really do great work.

I just wanted to ask about your Photo Sharing video.

After your GREAT videos about Google Docs and Google Maps, and it's new My Location feature, why would you not include Picasa as one of the available sites to upload and share your pictures?

In addition to the sites you mentioned, Picasa is a great tool to share photos online. They actually have two versions, one as a local program on your PC, and the other that is Picasaweb, which allows you to upload photos. They work seamlessly with one another, and it's a great alternative to Flickr.

Thanks. Keep up the great work.

You did it once again guys: a great short video. Clear and straight to the point. Keep on going guys, you rock!

I love your videos. But this particular one, I have to take exception to two things...

(1) As a backup, Flickr may not be optimal... the photos you get back (is there an easy way to download all of the photos back to your computer from Flickr?) will not be at the same resolution as the ones you uploaded.

(2) There is a cost involved with Flickr, if you take lots of photos (as most people with digital cameras do.). It's a reasonable cost that I myself pay, but it seems worth mentioning.

Excellent movie!
I've posted it on my weblog about Photography (in Dutch).

Now I know what to show the next time someone askes me what Flickr is.

James Lamb- I agree- Flickr is a nice boutique kind of photo sharing- But to actually back up your photos, stick with something more dedicated- Like Pixamo- which keeps your full sized images saved.

Great explanation of photo sharing! You should do one on microblogging next (Twitter, Jaiku, etc.).

once again a great vid.

just wanna second @maverick9465's request for a microblogging vid. Been Twittering for a month or so now and have not yet come up with a good way to conceptualize it or explain it (even to myself heh).

Great video, really appreciated it. I have a large photo collection stored on my hard drive that i want to upload to photobucket. I started but it took so long it seemed like it was going to take a lifetime (time that I don't really have). Any suggestions on uploading faster?

Great job on the video. Two comments, though on the limits of photo sharing services.

1) The video shows our old photo collection going up in flames in a house fire. Then it tells us that for our new photo collections "a computer failure can destroy thousands of memories. You can avoid this by keeping your photos backed up on the Internet."
Say the old photo collections that went up in the house fire covered more than 100 years of family history. Will the ones I back up on the Internet be passed down to great grandchildren like the old ones were? Or will they even still be there in 10 or 20 years? Or will they just disappear?

2) The video seems to imply that if I search my collection for the tag "cars" I will get all my photos of cars. Maybe. Unless I tagged some of them "Honda" or some of them with no tags at all. Without a controlled vocabulary and consistent rules for using it, finding photos will not be as easy as it seems. The old photo albums where in chronological order, so it's not that difficult to find a photo. If you're the kind of person who put your old photos in the album without captions and dates, chances are you won't be any more inclined to add titles and tags to the photos you upload to a photo sharing service.

Anyway, the video is very well done. Sorry to be so negative. Just go in with the limitations in mind.

I find the plain english videos excellent. For a novice like me they explain everything I need to know. The technology is great, that it is possible to categorise them etc. But unless, its done properly its not going to be useful. As cataloguers and librarians we believe we are tagging our resources perfectly, but some times are caught with our mistakes when we have trouble finding some thing that we know exists in our own database.

I've learned so much from your videos. Keep 'em coming.

have been so confused about this blog thing, but you made it so easy to understand. I greatly appreciate you

video and speaking in plain english.

I don't remember how I got to this website--and it was only a couple of minutes ago--but I'm thrilled I was led to it.

My concern about making photos public, which I would like to do so I can share with family, is that some unscrupulous person could come along and steal them and say they're theirs. Maybe use a face from one of my family photos as an avatar, something like that.

What protection is there?

Also, I think archivist/cataloger has a good question about how long we'll be able to access photos from the internet the way that technology is changing all the time. Ever tried to get that great essay you wrote back off a 6" floppy diskette?

Hoping you'll answer!

Great video, thanks a lot for creating this masterpiece!
