Joseph Ansanelli

Joseph Ansanelli, the CEO and co-founder of ZangZing, profiles their photo sharing service for the rest of us. Joseph explains their take on the familiar album metaphor, privacy, security and different levels of sharing, and the new one-click import of your photos from wherever they are on the web. Supported services for the import feature include Facebook, Flickr, DropBox, Shutterfly and more. Especially important as we count down to the MobileMe shut-down is the ability to directly import photos stored there to ZangZing. Joseph covers why their service is free for now and why they don’t like the ad-supported option, and why they don’t engage in “pic napping” the way some sites do. Find out why ZangZing may be the most elegant, approachable photo-sharing option available and give it a try.
