I’m using Glubble with my family, but I think the timeline while a useful feature should not replace photo albums. Its annoying that one cannot simply flip through photos (though the slideshow allows this somewhat awkwardly).
I am hoping for a pseudo-eventual integration with Facebook…that way I don’t have to maintain two social lives but can selectively import from Facebook into Glubble (and receive Glubble notifications in Facebook).

“Glubble”? “Glubble”!?!

Sounds like some super-annoying kid-show character which watching 5 minutes of leaves kids bewildered and parents ready to find the nearest Glubble plushy doll and have it drawn and quartered.

I agree with Alex! Don’t reinvent the wheel. This is what FB already does well.

If you have small children and would like them to use a computer and access the internet, Glubble is very interesting. For all of the openness of social networks, this is one family network that I want to keep as a walled garden. Glubble creates that environment.

It might sound like a me-too feature, but in the context of Glubble, it matters.

Destroying competition and setting up a monopoly, is that what you really want? What if Facebook does some more stupid crap that people don’t like, and some people want to leave for another social website?

Once some companies get too powerful, they do things that can do things that break their trust with their users/customers. Besides, Glubble is aimed more towards a family while Facebook is aimed towards everybody instead of being a niche.

All I want is for someone to solve the following problem: It’s Thanksgiving dinner. There are 5 cameras at the table. Many pictures are taken. Everyone goes home and downloads it onto their individual computers. Give me read only access to all of these pictures, without having to take it out of the place where I (or anyone else) know how to manage them (aka Picasa, Windows Photo Gallery, etc)

Don’t you think that all these stuff couldn’t be done on Facebook by parameting a group like ‘family’ and even more like ‘brothers & sisters’ for private photos and ‘All_family’.

Nowadays, people are trying to develop new social network where I think, the huge network already exist (FB) All it need is good application and this is precisly where we have to work on in order to provide new services and functionnalities.

4 million… not bad for a Firefox addon.

I wonder how much Adblock is worth?
