Hello

I was just looking at the Google Tools page when I saw Hello, Google's image IM system that also lets you put pics in blogs (but only if you have a Windows machine). It seems to me that companies are starting to see how sharing (images, "files") is an important part of many people's lives and it's good to see that there are companies out there who are promoting it. Digital photography may just be a "gateway" drug for many to get into more computer based forms of expression. I hope Google comes out with a Mac client of all their bits some time. It will likely be very well received and give Apple a bit of competition. I love .mac and iPhoto, but more competition never hurts.
