Sharing Your Photos Online

iPhoto's order prints feature is cool, but let's be honest, it's still a slow way to share your photos. After you order your prints, you still have to wait for them to arrive by mail. A much faster way to share your photos with friends and family is by doing so online.

Before you can share your photos using the built-in sharing tools in iPhoto, you need to make sure you have accounts with the three web sites iPhoto integrates with. Those web sites are MobileMe, Facebook, and Flickr.

For Facebook and Flickr, visit their web sites at www.facebook.com and www.flickr.com to sign up for a free account. If you want to use iPhoto with MobileMe sharing, however, you are going to have to purchase a MobileMe membership.

MobileMe is Apple's collection of online services including e-mail, contacts, calendars, online storage, and sharing services. Currently a MobileMe membership is $99 per year. You can find out more about MobileMe at www.apple.com/mobileme.
