Google Photos
I only had the opportunity to watch a portion of the Google I/O conference yesterday.
The portion I did see covered the new Google Photos, spun off from and independent of Google+, which seems to be languishing.
Here's a CNET summary:

In any case, for Google Photos they are offering unlimited online photo storage for free! And it appears to have a lot of clever and powerful organizational tools. Apps for iOS and Android are promised.
The idea of uploading my entire iPhoto library to Google Photo and having all my photos available on any device anywhere I have signal is intoxicating.
I've been using Flickr for like forever, and it works. But it seems like they make it intentionally difficult, or at least convoluted, to extract simple image links. I would love an easy and free alternative, and hope this is it.
As Google Photo gets rolled out, I'd love to hear experiences before I plunge in.
