Memeo Share is a new Video and Photo Sharing Tool from Memeo themselves.  It enables you to upload the videos and photos for free to share with friends and family all over the world.  They don’t even need to have a Memeo Account to view them!  It’s simple to use and a good way to share your experiences.  All you need to do it download the program, create a Memeo Account and then you’re ready to start sharing.

It is designed so that people, once signed up, will be able to share and download all your photos.  So if you have close family and friends abroad it is an easy way to share them so they can download them as well!  Saves emailing them all!

When we gave Memeo a try we noticed a few problematic areas.  For example, the general photo/video organisation isn’t that great on some screens, so you have to scroll each time to view the whole image.

We would personally prefer to use Google Picasa because of this but it is still a good tool and worth a look if you’re just interested in sharing!

Windows Live SkyDrive is an online storage device. You can use it for:

• Storing Private/Password Protected files,
• Storing files to share with friends all round the globe
• Sharing files with anyone and everyone.

You can upload and store pretty much any file, however you have a limit of of 5GB of storage space. You can have all your files organised and ordered into online folders. One slightly annoying thing is that you cannot upload entire folders at one time from your PC to SkyDrive, you can only upload 5 individual files at one time.

It’s up to you how you use it!  Some ideas we came up with were:

• Sharing files when working as a group
• Backing up your important files!
• Securely sharing photos with family and loved ones throughout the world!

To be able to use this tool you need to have a Windows Live ID. If you don’t just sign up for one, its free!

Google has created an incredibly easy way to share photos with people on the web. It’s called Picasa. Picasa is a great free download which helps you to organise photos on your computer, share photos via email and the web etc and to edit/add effect to your photos with just a couple of clicks. In this review we will tell you a little bit about Picasa and show you some basic features of the program.

Before you download Picasa for free you must you need to create a Google and Picasa account which will allow you to share your photos on the internet. Both Google and Picasa accounts are compltely free. If you already have a googlemail or gmail account then you don’t need to create a new Google account, just a Picasa one. Click here for a Google account. Then for a Picasa account click here. You need a Google account to use Picasa Web Album.

Once this is done you need to download Picasa for free and then install it.

Then you need to upload your pictures to Picasa by selecting where you wish for them to be uploaded from. If you have some pictures on a digital camera that you wish to upload to your computer follow the instructions on the pctoolbox.co.uk tutorial named ‘Downloading Pictures from Your Digital Camera On An XP Machine‘.
