Jeff from Pomoto here. Just wanted to thank everybody for the great comments so far (and the occasional feature request)! Many thanks also go to Michael for the nice video review! I would like to address 2 small issues:

1) Private albums are visible on the web, just not as a part of your normal ‘public’ gallery. There’s a handy way to email links to private albums through the ‘Source’ menu.

2) There are of course many, many ways to get your photos online, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. For those with doubts, I would simply encourage you to give Pomoto a try. Pomoto’s ease of use and clean, uncluttered galleries might just be worth that one cup of coffee per month.

I would use pomoto to share pictures of my travels with my friends, who live spread around the globe. I am too lazy to do more than putting them in different albums/events in iphoto, and I like to looks of pomoto albums.

I’m big on food and macro photography, and Pomoto sounds like a great way to bring that to family and friends. Ideally I’d cook a dish, take a picture and set it up such that it’s on display for the world to see – on a nightly basis, even. Sort of like a restaurant’s daily menu changes, but more digital, and no benefit of aroma.

finally there would be an easy way for me to share my photos with my family 5000 Km away….

I’m too lazy to organise my photos in online galleries, so Pomoto would be an easy way for me to post my vacation photos online for my family and friends to view.

We currently work with missionary children in Kenya and pomoto would be an awesome way for all of our supporters to see what we do on a day to day basis. I regularly use iPhoto to gather all of our photos and create albums and this would be the icing on the cake.

Pomoto will use me in order to obtain world domination!

@Paul

No it’s not. I think Flickr’s limit for free accounts is 200 viewable photos and 3 albums.

Have you heard of Flickr, it is the FREE service on the Internet!

I would use Pomoto to end world hunger……… everyday.

I’d use Pomoto to set up galleries of my first grandchild and more? to come. I’d also create a beautiful gallery of my son’s upcoming wedding.

I would use Pomoto to easily build an online portfolio of my photography without the effort of going through complicated upload processes. My Wireless SD card can get photos onto my computer and Pomoto can help them the rest of the way.

@McMax
If the service is good enough, people are willing to pay for it. Just ask Flickr

By: McMax

its useless since using Promoto you stick with their service like with .MAC Most of the advanced web users are already have webspace/webserver and would like to store their files on THEIR server. Furthermore there are other services (like picasa) which offer the service for free. It limited for 1GB but if you need 10GB it cost just 10Euro and it is more than enough for sharing the pictures on the web.

Gahhh Pomoto. Apologies for that typo in the title. Lesson: Never edit posts at 5am without coffee.

Sorry, misspelled Pomoto in my previous post. Also, I noticed the fullscreen navigation fades away after no mouse activity, even while I’m clicking through the test gallery. Does it only respond to movement, not clicks? That might be annoying to family that aren’t very patient.

Otherwise, nice service and much easier to use than flickr.

I would use it to share photos of all my travels (including my recent trip to Uganda!)

I, too, would use Promoto to share my upcoming child with my parents, who are halfway across the country. This will be their first grandchild and they refuse to move back to Oregon because “it’s cold.”

I would use if for my Son. We take at least one photo a day. This is going to be the most well document kid on the planet!

We moved to Italy from South Africa years ago, so we only get to see our family once every 5 years or so, and it’s so easy to fall out of touch. I would use Pomoto to share all our photos so our family and friends back in the RSA can keep in touch and catch up with what’s happening in our lives whenever they want.

Im currently living in the uk and my gf lives other end of the uk which is about a 7 hour drive so we dont see each other that much at the moment. i moved away 6 months ago for a new job and left my gf and my son behind in hope they will follow up in a year or two. I would you this to enable my son and my gf up to date on my day to day world as im always taking photos as its part of my job. It kills me to think my son is growing older not knowing what i look like or what im doing.
anyway let the best person win good luck every one.

I live in Hong Kong, but my family is back in Australia (and in different parts of the country). This would be a great, simple way to routinely chuck some photos from my everday life onto the web to more easily stay in contact with them all at once and share what’s going on in my life.

I would use promoto to be able to keep a live private family photo library , so that relatives all over the world can keep in touch visually.

I would use Promoto in everyday life to document my everyday life at school. Why is this different? Because I go to a Boarding School and am not in too much contact with my parents they can see the gallery through the school year and see what I’m up to/
