We are working to fix this extended registration flow. It is currently not one of the product's strengths. As for the share functionality, you will *continually* see improvements and feature enhancements to this core functionality. Please keep in mind this is an early Beta release, and we have lots of enhancements to work through! @John Currin BlueString is currently only available in English, but stay tuned for future availability in more languages. You were unable to register though? @Teesh

The whole group enhancement model is quite well done. Once people get to know about some of the sweet automatic upload capabilities from your PC (e.g., never having to remember to upload photos when you sync your camera), I think they'll appreciate it even more. Also, thanks should go out to David for being such a staunch supporter of the effort. Props to Robert and the team in LA for launching a really nice, intuitive product!

It's a pretty good interface overall - you only need your mouse hand to operate it. The slideshow system is very simple and easy to figure out. It treats all media in the same way, too, so you can upload movies/images from the same place. Reminds me a lot of Slide. However, I found the sharing interface confusing - wasn't quite sure what to click on when the "Publish" tab was selected (you need to drag, THEN click to generate the sharing link). I noticed that it doesn't handle animated gifs very well, but this may just be a limitation of flex. Unfortunately, you need to go through 6-7 screens just to register if you are a non-AOL customer. One of the screens requires about 20 different bits of personal information from you - all compulsory. I wanted to see the app in action so I just entered fake info to get past it, but normally I wouldn't bother with that crap. I just signed up because I wanted to see the flex application.
