Personally, I love online photo-sharing. I live thousands of miles away from my new nieces and online photo-sharing helps me to keep up with their lives. The site they use for the babies is Shutterfly. Shutterfly has a level of security in which it does not allow pictures to be grabbed and placed on Facebook or Animoto. I enjoy looking at shared photos on Facebook and shared videos on Picasa. These photos can be grabbed and shared without the subject's knowing it, but members seem to be aware of this fact.
Professionally, I think there are lots of uses for online photo-sharing. I would love to use photographs of library events and activities to encourage more library use. I am concerned about sharing photos of children without parental permission. We have handles this posting issue with a few methods. For one of our guest reader days, we placed the children that did not have media release forms in one area of the library and were careful not to include them in photographs that we posted. We have also photographed events and used only the back of the children's heads. I would like to post past and present photographs of our school, neighborhood, and alumni.
