I was so excited to see this app, I downloaded it right away, as we are already avid smugmug users, and all received iPhones a few weeks ago, I take photos weekly of our properties and upload to smugmug, this way I can geotag them. However, I have 17 photos in the queue, and they ain’t movin. I can’t remove them, they won’t upload I am not sure what to do about this. I am sad

@Ken Barnett

I hate to say this, but we don’t *have* a Facebook app, so there’s nothing for us to “fix”.

That’s not to say we wouldn’t build one, though. If we were to build one, what would you want it to do?

Comment on SmugMug embraces OpenID by Chris Hills

Chris Hills — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:17:33 +0000

I came across this page whilst trying to find out if I could use my existing OpenID with SmugMug. Consider this a request! I would not consider using a site as an OpenID provider unless they supported a minimum of 2 non-password authentication methods (e.g. digital certificate, SMS, cardspace, …). The same works in reverse. I doubt I would use my OpenID provider for photo hosting if they provided it. I think sites should stick to doing one thing well. Please, SmugMug, be a good netizen and consume OpenIDs!
