With the growth of online photo sharing and processing services, sharing photos has never been easier. Gone are the days of preparing albums or slide shows of pictures from your recent vacation or waiting several days for prints to come back from the developer. Instead, just upload your digital snapshots to a site like Shutterfly, enter a friend's e-mail address, and within minutes they can see all of the pictures in your online album. And if a friend sends you pictures through Shutterfly, it only takes a few clicks of the mouse to access the images.
