So here are my thoughts: 1) You give me no reason to use you rather than Flickr or Facebook. What is the reason YOUR site is better? I'm not saying it isn't, but that needs to be on your frontpage. You have to assume your customer is going to have photos online elsewhere. 2) Frontpage signup button took me to an Oops page, so I can't even register to try the service. Looks like it goes to signup.php rather than /signup 3) A pet peeve. If you're going to allow me to login without authorizing my account, just log me in after I register. Why make me re-authorize myself. 4) Creating an album before upload is an extra step. Allow me to create the album in the upload process, sure require it, but I want to begin uploading images right away. After playing with the site some, I still don't have an understanding what makes your site a killer site in the crowded market. What is it that makes you better than Flickr, Facebook or Myspace for my photos?

Flickr is a good service, don't get me wrong, but I'm not a big fan for big brother or someone trying to stuff ads down my throat all the time (just my 2cents) Facebook, don't keep the originals, only the cropped versions of the photos... also what about the millions of folks who don't have a facebook account ? Frontpage button: Sorry. fixed it ! I never claimed my site to be "killer", it's new and will get better over time... It's by having users who use the site and want a better experience that the site will evolve. What would make the site "killer" in your opinion ? thanks for the comments.

  I don't have an answer for you, my point was that the majority of users who will find your service will have their photos elsewhere already and it requires something to make them move. Photos are a saturated market. I don't have any killer features to suggest, and I don't mean to make it sound like you're dead in the water - far from it. You're a young startup with a fairly solid site from the looks of it, it just didn't show me anything which would entice me to move photos to your site. As for your feedback on Flickr, you and I may feel that way, but the millions of users they have are in love with the service. Swaying someone who loves a product is like trying to convince someone to switch religions, it's nigh impossible. I'll look forward to seeing how your site shapes up over time.
