Photos are blowing up!

To those of you who know me in the real world you might have noticed that I’ve gone into hyper stress mode.  I’m actually not that much fun to be around these days.  My apologies.  We’re about to raise our next round of funding and the perfectionist in me wants to make sure that everything is, well, perfect.

I was doing some research and came across some pretty crazy stats from InfoTrends.  In 2006, a cumulative total of about 330 billion images were saved on a worldwide basis.  This number is expected to jump to about 880 billion by 2010.  On average, U.S. digital camera owners currently have about 1,000 images saved and this number grows larger every day.  By 2010, there will be about a trillion images saved on hard disks, optical media, and other storage devices.

Sharing these photos and finding specific photos out of all these images is becoming a daunting, if not impossible task.
