A free iPhoto export plugin for Flickr. This provides a convenient way to upload your iPhoto descriptions, titles, keywords (tags), and ratings along with your photos. It also supports sets (yay!) and preserves GPS tags and other EXIF data. Flickr is a semi-free photo sharing service/site.

BPG - Ben's Picture Gallery
This is a photo gallery program for sharing pictures and video from a digital camera with family and friends. It is a single PHP file that is easy to install on your own web server. A major goal with this project is to have a simple and intuitive interface that is easy for your whole family to use.
Design Assumptions:
(if these seem reasonable to you, then this program may be what you want)
1. Your web server has unlimited disk space but limited bandwidth.
Typically this means you have a web server at your home connected to the internet with a limited upload bandwidth (such as DSL or cable modems).
2. Picture descriptions should be stored embedded in the original Jpeg file.
3. All visitors will use a modern browser with Javascript
4. This program does not provide a way to upload your pictures.
5. Your photos are organized in folders like this:
top level
---> year
---> yyyy-mm-dd_event_name
|---> photo jpeg and movie avi files
---> sub-folders
---> photo jpeg and movie avi files
This is how the files are organized for the demo:
Features:
* Full screen slideshow
* You only need to provide the original pictures, a cache of thumbnail and screen images is automatically maintained
* Automatic rotation of images based on EXIF orientation data
* Videos are converted to the Flash .flv format for maximum browser compatibility and low bandwidth
* Video thumbnails generated from first frame
* Pictures are automatically scaled to fit on any screen with Javascript
* Load balancing mirror feature can speed up image loading when bandwidth is limited.
* RSS feeds for easily sharing your latest photos with iPhoto users
* Save photo destriptions in the JPEG file comments of the original file (like writing on the back of a print)
* Only "admin" users can modify comments or delete files
* The original photos do not need to be available thru the web server or can be restricted with a .htaccess file
* Visitors can buy photos using Digibug's service
* Multiple pictures can be downloaded in a zip file from the shopping cart
* Local configuration variables can be save in a separate file to make it easy to upgrade
* Specific features can be disabled
* Diagnostic feedback to help fix permission and dependency problems

OrbyOnline - Projects: Photon
Photon is a plugin for iPhoto that acts as a bridge between iPhoto and your weblog, allowing you to easily share your iPhoto library with everyone. Photon utilizes the MovableType API, so any blogging software that does a good job of supporting the API will work well with Photon. However, it should be noted here that I only test Photon against the most recent release of Wordpress.

iPhotoToGoogleEarth is a plugin for iPhoto 6 that will export photos for viewing in Google Earth. To make the most of iPhotoToGoogleEarth you'll need to have GPS infomation stored in the Exif tags. If you don't know what that means this plugin probably isn't for you.
