[UCIMC-Tech] IMC Photosharing and Social Network Links on Main Page

[Stephen Fonzo]

This idea came up today in a conversation between Jason, Nicole, and I.  We
think that the IMC should have a presence on an online photo-sharing
community, and that there should be a link to IMC photo albums on the main
page of the website.  There could also be main page links to "IMC on
Twitter," "IMC on Facebook," etc.

The main goal would be to have a central and web-accessible
gallery/collection of IMC images from events, artists, working groups,
protests/rallies, spaces, etc.

The question is, which photosharing site should we use?  There are many (see
below, pasted from Wikipedia's list), and I want to hear others' ideas and
impressions on the best way to proceed and integrate the albums with other
networking tools and the site:
