The most popular photo sharing takes place on Facebook. With the increase of sales with smart phones, Facebook has become an easy tool to use to connect with friends and exchange photos. According to Facebook, There are many other photo sharing tool that consumer may choose from.
“There are more than two hundred and fifty million active users. People that use Facebook on their mobile devices are twice as active on Facebook as non-mobile users.”That goes to show you the direction the World Wide Web is moving towards, it's going mobile. According to cnn.com,
“Picplz and Path represent the next generation of photo sharing, where high quality photos are snapped and shared in seconds on your mobile device. Instagram and Picplz focus on the instantaneous point-and-share functionality of smart phones while providing users with filters to fancify and enhance photos and the tools to share them with the world. Path makes the same bet that users will capture important moments in their lives on their mobile devices, but instead assumes that users prefer to share these intimate memories with just friends and family.”

All of these photo application tools are very helpful to keep in touch with friends and family. In some cases they are abused and not used properly. According to an article from wisn.com, a father from Milwaukee County discovered a naked picture of a fifteen year old boy on his daughter’s phone. The father ended up taking the phone to the police station. The police then contacted the boy and found nude pictures of the fourteen year old girl on the boy’s phone. This is a prime example how these types of technologies can be abused.
