AOL Upgrades You've Got Pictures

Publish.com reports that AOL has upgraded its You've Got Picture service into a free online photo sharing tool called AOL Pictures.
America Online, Inc. announced today the launch of AOL Pictures, a free photo sharing Web site with unlimited online digital storage in original resolutions, photo sharing and printing.

"Available for free to anyone on the Web at AOL.com, AOL Pictures gives consumers a complete digital photo experience with benefits like unlimited, free photo storage and integration with the AIM service and our blogging tools," David Liu, General Manager and Vice President, AOL.com said in a statement Thursday.

Additional features of the new AOL Photo include an improved uploading tool with drag and drop functionality, mobile phone access to stored photos, an online print store, and slideshow and album-creation functions, as well as a sleek interface based on development platform AJAX.
Photo sharing and printing are good features but to compete with Flickr the service also needs features like tagging and interestingness.
