The digerati ponder Color and its tens of millions of dollars in financing. It will become the next Cuil, or it will turn Facebook into a buggy whip, or both, depending on who you talk too. Only time will tell. Meanwhile, the actual user experience is horrific (luckily the product seems happily disconnected to the company's hype).Meanwhile, I still want to make on the fly photo albums during events. I've wanted to do this for a long time, and there aren't many options out there. Flickr has some limited group sharing but it's too onerous for one time events, and works better for long term groups (butterfly lovers or whatever). MG managed to use Color for a weekend trip to Mexico that ended dramatically if not surprisingly with a bout of Montezuma's revenge. Few others will bother until the app has gone through a few more versions.Anyway, new startup ZangZing will fit this need nicely. It's a beautiful photo repository that focuses on sharing and presentation. If you're at an event, say a wedding, and you want to start a group album, just upload a picture from the wedding via email and then invite your friends. They can reply with their own photos, which are added to the album. And they can add new friends by email invite as well, unless someone's changed the privacy setting to make an album private or even password protected. There's no need for anyone to create a new account, simply by responding to the email with photos they've begun the process, and can finish the rest later, if they like. It's one of the ways Posterous grew so fast, by making account creation so simple that you're done before you even know you've begun.

Another Group Photo Sharing Service? Yeah But ZangZing Actually Works
