Codename Max

Yeah, I installed Max this evening. This is Microsoft’s new photo-sharing tool. At this point the only real advantage to this as opposed to just having a Flickr list and sharing it with people is the ability to do a couple of funky things with displaying photos as they would look framed on a mantle, or in a photo album. Hopefully, they add more stuff to it to really allow you to get creative with how to show off your photos. I haven’t set-up any shared lists, but I might at some point when I have some more time, so if you are using it, let me know so I can see what you’re doing and I’ll be sure to let you know about lists I create in the future!

Of course, I’ll still concentrate mostly on putting pictures on-line so everyone who wants to see them who isn’t using Max, or Windows for that matter, can see them.
