When we had our son, we found that instead of taking 100 photos a
year, all of the sudden we were taken 1000 photos a year. The
Grandmas wanted the latest photos all the time (they both live about
300 miles away). We tried using flickr but just couldn't keep up with
uploading photos all the time. We found a new service called
Houseglue that shares photos without uploading using your internet
connection. Now our friends and family get automatically emailed
whenever we download pictures, and the grandmas now rotate the
vertical photos for us (more time saved for me!).

If you want to share a lot of photos of your kids securely so only
your family and friends can see them, try out Houseglue:

I've tried out flickr, smugmug, snapfish, and kodak. What do you all
use and why, I am especially intereseted in tools for sharingn lots of
photos with only family and friends.

FYI, a 1000 per year isn't "a lot of photos". Many of us shoot that
in a day. I've probably shot 4000 in the last month.

4000 a month. That's a lot of photos. I guess I am a more casual
photographer, mainly just taking picture of my kid to share with
family.

getting your own website and using something like Gallery and Gallery
Remote is about as easy as it gets. plus it lets you control anything
you want.

I'm even more casual, my first digital picture is dated 10/2002 and soon
I'll have taken a total of 4000 pictures. This is based on image number
so it includes throw aways.

I use Smugmug because I have many gigs of photos and it offers unlimited
storage. It was almost 40GB last time I checked, and it was over a year
ago.

You can set up a sharing folder in Microsoft's free Windows
Live Messenger. You can also set up a free website there,
with controlled access, where you can share photos,
comments, etc.
