I am beginning to fall in love - yet again - with a new service on the internet. After having fallen in love in Flickr.Com a few years ago, I have discovered something else. Not as flashy as Flickr (if you consider Flickr flashy) - but useful, really. And clean, easy to use.
This time, it's SkyDrive that's keeping me up all night.
The thing is, I have so many photos on my laptop that I want to share with only a few people. I am sure that Flickr does that - you know, choose who sees your photos. But seriously, not everyone seems to be interested in taking photos. But what do they have? Hotmail.Com accounts.
That's where SkyDrive comes in.
That's where I park all my photos nowadays.
The only thing that worries me: It's still in beta. And it's only got 1GB so far of available memory.
But seriously - I want this to be my 'cloud drive'. I want this to be more than my storage space - I also want this to be my special place where I can share photos - and documents - with people whom I love and consider important.
Anyway... try it out. If you've got a Hotmail.Com or Live.Com account, it's good.
And the other thing to note: A Hotmail.Com account gets you a blog on Spaces, Photo Gallery (which is integrated in your Spaces blog), SkyDrive, and a few other stuff that you can use.
