Let us know how you are using 23 to share your photos?
e.g. are you sending them a link? have you added your family as email-subscribers? do you have a dedicated family photo group? or does your family members have 23 accounts too?
Let me know how you are doing this, or how you'd like to?

I mostly send them a link to the applicable album - none of them have 23 accounts as of yet (even though I've tried to convert a few - I'm afraid my brother's still on Zooomr, als due to my doing :S).

i'm sharing the pictures of my son (6 months old) in a photogroup, where my family is invited. Before Steffen sayd, i can create groups for sharing pictures, i invited my family to see all my private pictures. But that is never a good idea...

I mostly send the link to my family. But I find handy to ask them to send their own pictures as attachment to my upload email, its easy for them, and save time to everyone!

I use the send function, one of the nicest functions of 23 IMHO. :-) So I can select an individual collection of (private) photos and give access to it for those who are not 23 users.

@janfri: Do you have any ideas for improving the Send function?

I'd still like the Send function to work on albums, so that when I add photos to an album after sending out the link, those photos would be visible too.

What are your experiences with email-subscriptions? -- you know... the function that lets your family or friends receive your photos by email as they are uploaded.

@Philipp: Lol ;-) The idea of this group is find ideas for improving those well-working features for sharing, so you're answer is sorta funny ;-) We're trying to focus of families sharing photos and we're open to all novel insights that you guys may have...

I think i know that. ;-)
But Even my family get the point behind the "email-subscriptions".
However there is nothing you can't improve but nothing comes to mind right now.

@Steffen: In most cases I want only the url (not the form for sending). So it would be nice to get the url direct not with the extra step via "select receiver" and then "get the address of the photos".

does anyone use dedicated photogroups for e.g. family, colleagues friends etc.?

I have a photogroup for family but not yet used it because they are not (yet) 23h users. :-(

I also only got three or four of my friends to really get an 23 account. And those only by handholding them through the necessary steps. The rest I added as contacts and switched email-subscription on for them. I guess that simply works for them, they get the emails and click on the pictures they are interested in. But they don't realize what is behind the pictures or how to register etc.
The bad thing is that I can use the email subscription only for those that I want to be able to see all my pictures. I can't really use 23 for those pictures that I want only a part of my contact list to see.

I just thought of something...
Often, I have pictures of my family that I'd like them to have, however, they would not always like to have them set to public. Perhaps it would be an idea to be able to "reserve" the pictures for someone, so that that person could retrieve those pictures with the accompanied key, but also set them to public. Perhaps you could also only allow them to control the pictures by signing up for 23, automatically moving the pictures to the newly created account when they sign up.

I honestly feel that while the send-function is an improvement, the most obvious obstacle on our way to sharing actively and freely is the lack of three levels of privacy. 23 is by far the best photosharing service on the web, but this is a big flaw imo.
I refuse to choose Yahoo/Flickr over 23, but having three privacy-levels allow for much more sharing: PUBLIC, PRIVATE (FRIENDS) and PRIVATE (FAMILY).
I really can't find one single reason not to include this in 23. Right now many people are missing out on a lot of photos because some photos should be shared in a wider private circle, while others shared in more intimate circles. With the status quo both groups are missing out.

Mac, Maria and I had that exact same conversation just a few hours ago (remembering als to include that 23 is by far the best photo sharing service around).
Two points about this: First, it is possible to have several privacy groups through photogroups at the moment, although I realise that having to explain this to users i 5-step guides is a sure sign that I'm on the wrong side of the argument. The second point? We haven't made any definitive decisions about this yet, but it's no impossible that you'll find multiple privacy-levels included in 23 within a few months. God willing, of course.

I'm not against more privacy levels but I think photogroups are much more flexible: a group for your family, one for friends from school, another for your sport friends, ..., ... There is no limit for differentiation!
Therefore it would be helpful to be able to select groups while upload photos.
