Recently, President Obama started using Instgram, upping its coolness factor by at least ten points, as far as I'm concerned. I love how easy it is to use the app, with all of its filters. I love the feed, which allows me to see all of my friends' photos, to like and comment on them, and I also like how easy it is to do picture sharing from Instagram to Facebook and Twitter.

Yahoo's version of picture sharing has long been Flickr, the website. Now there's the picture sharing app version, and it works just as simply and efficiently as the web option.

I've been using the Snapfish website to store, sort, edit, and share photos since 2003, and I love that I can access everything from my online Snapfish account on the go with this picture sharing app. It's cumbersome to use if you have the thousands of photos that I do, but for a casual user, it's perfect!

This picture sharing app is relatively new, but I like it! It's so easy to organize your photos, and even to add more photos from around the web to your own photo roll. I also like that multiple friends can upload to the same Kodak album.
