I’m not much of a ‘photo guy’ which has probably led to me being delinquent in posting about Bubbleshare.

It’s not for lack of visibility as I seem to run into Albert everywhere I go. Being a fellow Canadian, it’s amazing that we keep bumping into each other in California (multiple times) and Las Vegas at Mix 06. I’d think Albert was stalking me if it weren’t though after him having lunch with Bill Gates. I might have to consider that it’s me stalking him.

I finally got a chance to really play with Bubbleshare and play seems an operative word. Bubbleshare makes lowers the barrier to managing photos, as Albert puts it “It’s Flickr for Moms”.

Bubbleshare lets you get started uploading photos super quickly. No need to setup an account, just drop in your name and email and you can start adding photos.

Visually it’s very impressive. It allows you to view all the photos in an album and scale them with a slider similar to iPhoto, easily drag and drop photos to organize them in an album and slick transitions between photos when viewing a slideshow. Bubbleshare also allows you to add audio captions to each photo which allows you to verbally or musically annotate your photos.

Getting photos into Bubbleshare is simple. From the standard HTTP upload, to a plugin for iPhoto Bubbleshare is making it easy for anyone to add photos.

BubbleZoom recently added a cool feature that allows you to easily zoom in on an area of your photo reminiscent of Apple’s Aperture eyeglass feature.

Despite it’s array of features, it’s impressively approachable and something I’ll be recommending to my photo happy friends.

Here are some photos from one of my notorious July 1st Fireworks parties. You’re all invited to the next one! Bubbleshare makes it a snap to add them to your blog.
