Chapter 8. Publishing Photos on the Web

One of the greatest changes in photography has been the rise of the Web. Before the appearance of sites like MobileMe, Facebook, and Flickr, it was difficult or impossible for the average person to publish a photo such that it could be seen by many others, but that’s no longer true. As of early 2009, Facebook contains upwards of 13 billion photos, and Flickr has another 3 billion (Apple hasn’t released numbers for MobileMe). People love Web publishing.
