The online image gallery and sharing service Phanfare has relaunched, adding social-networking tools to make sharing photos and videos easier, and supplementing its subscription-based services with a free membership option. Phanfare provides both Web galleries and a Windows- and Mac-compatible desktop component that automatically uploads images to online albums.
Phanfare's new free membership provides 1GB of storage for photos and videos. A paid plan with unlimited storage of full-resolution images is available for $54.95 per year. New members now receive 20 free prints.
The revamped service allows users to create a network of friends and family to share images with. Phanfare's new online dashboard provides each user with a central hub for creating a profile, adding and viewing network members, exchanging messages, viewing and creating online albums, and creating groups within networks. The new group-creation feature allows members to share albums selectively with multiple groups of people, for example making some albums accessible to a group of friends and a different set of albums accessible to family. Network members receive updates via their personal dashboards when photos and videos are added to the albums they have access to.
