I'll wait till I see more before I make my mind up, but will be interesting to see what they do with it.

I'd like them to add more options for commercialising the photography, rather than just Ghetty. Its a great online backup and portfolio tool but I find it a bit restrictive. If I could have the option to pay a bit more and hotlink the images to my own domain that would be great...

Yeah that would be nice, I can't see anyone buying many of my photos but it would be nice to be able to offer it without too much extra hassle.

The only other things I can think of is to make it a bit easier to see the photos of the groups your in, it only shows one group at a time on your 'homepage' and it doesn't always grab your attention so you don't go straight to it and start looking at them (or at least I don't).  The other one is to have some sort of blog type functionality in it, rather than just subscribing to people's photos if there was a blog feature you could ask other people who are following you stuff or just put general stuff you've been up to on there.

For example there's a load of people who I subscribe to who do lots of sunrise photography using filters, I wouldn't mind getting into it a bit more but if I wanted some general hints & tips from them rather than messaging all of them asking I could just post up a new blog post and hopefully they'd answer.  Would have been handy when I woke up at 6.30 this morning and decided to go to the coast to get some sunrise photos and well they don't look up to much at the mo :(

Looks like its already started, just checked my contacts page and that looks to have changed, not very much mind.
