(Newser) – With lost passwords and clunky sign-up procedures, online photo-sharing can be a bit of a hassle. But a new service from Shutterfly offers a simpler way, Katherine Boehret writes in the Wall Street Journal after taking it for a spin. Shutterfly Share still has some problems— you can’t post original videos, for one—that won’t be fixed by the Aug. 12 launch, but it offers a sleek and simple experience.

The service enables individuals and groups to craft professional-looking sites with an emphasis on photo sharing and collaborative communication. And there are several ways to add photos, including e-mailing them. That could eliminate a barrier for people intimidated by the uploading process.

The Wall Street Journal finds the new Shutterfly Share service to be an effective and fun way to share photos and communicate with friends and family.
