What are online photo albums?

Online photo albums are galleries on the internet managed by individuals.
Some examples are Instagram, Flickr, Webshots, SmugMug or Yahoo!Photos.

Advantages to using online photo albums

It's better to use an online photo album because:

There are options to make the album private which is safer than putting it
up on a social networking site
It's easier to access in one
album rather than them all being sent via different emails
