I want to be able to link to photos on other photo services. Instead of upload the same photos multiple places. I want to be able to search public records like (death and marriage records from city and states, not just the site I'm on. I know I don't ask for much :-) Glad to see some of the sites pay attention to their users, I guess I need to explain the gallery and search items more.

Just wanted to thank you for the mentioning, and for your list of ideas. I think you're spot on in what you're asking for (with a few exceptions, of course...). For example, we have our own basic photo application in Kindo right now, but we definitely want to add the ability to integrate photos from other sites, as you suggest. We have some good ideas around the other issues you're mentioning as well so stay tuned :-) Cheers Hi Jay,
