CNET News have an intersting article about the use of peer-to-peer technology (think Napster) for sharing digital photos. OurPictures is launching a new service which will allow you to swap pictures with other users on the OurPictures network.

“Our belief is that the desktop is the right place where a consumer wants to organize and manage their digital photos—not on a Web site,” said John Paul, CEO and founder of OurPictures. “If you have one photo you want a thousands people to see, that’s one thing. But a Web site is not the right place to place thousands of photos.”

Is this a great idea, or simply someone trying to make use of a problematic technology?
