Now, I´m no speed reader (okay I am), but it appears that passportphoto.net didn´t make it onto Time´s Best Websites of 2008 list. I can´t help but wonder why.

Every year, the Times saves surfers like us a little effort by bunching together all the best of the net. There´s something for everyone here, and variety has always been the whipped cream on my pumpkin pie {hears a growling down below}.  Never write when you´re hungry..

Anywho, passportphoto.net is the only website I´ve visited thus far that  a) let´s you get an account started with zero personal info in less than five questions and  b) allows you to upload photos straight from your smartphone, without an email link.

Shame on photobucket, an old haunt I thought I could count on. Even myspace servers go looney when you try to direct upload from core memory. Dozens of popular photo websites haven´t hopped on the mobile upload bandwagon. Still...the sorry, error-ridden experiences I had at most of those websites paled in comparison to Picturetrail, a site I´d like to call the " lurid back alley of picturedom".  Trying to sign up there is the equivalent of a third party gang bang.

I felt so dirty.

Naturally, passportphoto.net was firewalled at my office. To my delight, they have a "backdoor entrance" at photo101.net.

Sneaky.

Which means this one´s surely a website after my own heart. I think I´m in wuv. LoL

Well, I´ve got my nominee for next year under the handy tools section. Have you anything to add to the top 50?
