Sharing Your Priceless Photos and Videos in the Cloud Through Wireless Digital Frames and On-Line
The same holds true for the hundreds of miles of video footage we can take with those same cameras and cell phones, as well as pocket video cameras and camcorders. In the end, the result will probably be the same...what to do with all these digital recordings of our lives? Most of it will end up stuck in our cameras, our cell phones and our computers as far from the light of day as if they were in albums on shelves.
If photos and videos are for sharing, what can we do to get them out there to the largest number of our family and friends safely, efficiently, quickly and easily? Also, since we don't want to bore our viewers, it would be nice to give them the option of whether or not and when and where they can view and share in these important recorded events of our lives. Fortunately, the technology of today offers many options.
One option is to invite everyone over to watch movies and view photos on our TVs directly from our cameras and phones. Or we could have them turned into DVDs and view them on the TV or even pass them out. Nice, but not very humble and there is no easy way for your friends to opt out if they find you have too many photos for one sitting or your videos are a little too long or possibly boring!
Even worse is trying to share your life with everyone sitting around a computer screen. Possibly worse than sharing with a computer is trying to share your photos and videos through digital camera screens or camcorders...too small and forget it if you are outside in the sun!
Of course, one excellent way we can share is with digital frames, especially ones that are wireless, making populating a frame with photos and/or videos a cinch. Digital frames are wonderful for connecting with personal friends or families. If it is a wireless frame and one with image, audio and video capabilities that can send information to other wireless frames, then that is truly sharing even though you are limited by the number of frames involved at any one time. There are some digital frames on the market today that rival a television in size and the price of these frames has gone steadily down over time, making them much more affordable.
One of the easiest ways to share with the largest number of people in our lives is through on-line photo and video sharing sites. Most are totally free to use and some will actually organize your data for you. Most importantly, storing photos and videos in the "cloud" keeps them much safer than on a computer hard drive or even on numerous flash drives or memory cards.
For photos, we have Picasa, Flickr and the Kodak Gallery, among others. For videos, we actually have many options for storing and sharing videos on line. All have time and storage capacity limits, which help to keep them short and non-boring! Examples are YouTube and Vimeo, Flickr, Photobucket and Yahoo and Social Media Sharing Sites such as Facebook.
So don't fret. Sign up for a free photo and/or video site and then transport your photos and videos from "the cloud" to as many friends and family as you would like to invite to view them on whatever media is available.
