Lets face it… sharing files (especially photos and videos) is easy and free. Flickr, Youtube, Photobucket, Divshare all make it spectacularly freaking easy to share a file. And I’ so fed up with “sharing a file” that I’m ready to be sick. Stop putting speed holes in a technology that already works pretty damn well and give us something new that we need. Let me tell you what I’m talking about.

I have somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 digital photos. Which is a lot. And right now they’re tucked into iPhoto. Which is great… until… I want to share my entire collection. My wife wants to find a few photos of the puppies. I have to go over to my computer, launch iPhoto, then she has to open photo, connect to my computer, browse these 10,000 images over wifi pulling an ungodly amount of traffic across the air, and s l o w l y rendering thumbnails for her on her side. Then she has to import the photos . Or she kicks me off my computer so she can do it.

Whats wrong with both of these pictures (pardon the pun) is that it’s way harder for a family to own a large group of digital photos than it should be.  Nobody makes it easy to own 10,000 photos, and whats worse is nobody even makes it easy to add 10,000 photos.

So theres your problem. The next big thing. We’ve made syndication for the masses, now lets make mass media for the masses.

Thats my $.02
