Albert Lai, Bubbleshare’s CEO alerted me to review this new service and I gladly obliged. This review is impartial despite the “spoiler headline” (Albert…where do I send the invoice? ).

So why am I in bubblove?
1. Let’s start with the basics – bubblshare does what all the other photo album sharing do, but with fun and simplicity.

2. The bubble effects are really a cool way to personalize a slide show! I am not sure this is REALLY sustainable and not just novelty, but nonetheless the execution of the interface is flawless.

3. Setting up an account is simple and fast.

4. Sharing is easy – create album –> enter email –> share. Already got some rave responses on a cool slide show that took me but a few seconds to put together.

5. The bulk uploading process is smooth and you can opt for a handy email notification that lets you know uploading is finished. No impatient glazing at a slow moving progress bar. Cool!

6. Overall and again - smooth and clear interfaces – very slick. Changing photo order in thumbnail view….wow…very nice.

Love less:
1. The idea of uploading photos from my camera phone is a great bonus. Generating a unique code for the account seemed brilliant. I sent an MMS after reading the instructions, followed the instructions and it seems like my mms email is still MIA. When you send something there should be a ‘receving’ space on the other end. I searched under my account and myalbums…nothing. Maybe I missed something on the instructions, but I do know it’s first of all got to work.

2. Home page is too cluttered – looks like another mashable community / photo sharing / social application – bubble share’s corporate identity does not transpire well enough. No need to mention EVERY SINGLE feature, plugin, download etc. in the home page.

Overall, Bubleshare could easily have ended up being “yet another” photo album website, but they pass the “yawn test very well”. It is immaculate, spectacular and tangy and I left me impressed and, to be honest, also a bit surprised.

Once again, I really enjoy encountering companies that don’t necessarily invent a whole new concept but rather take an existing one, twist it, simplify and execute on it “web life” style.

Bottom line – Bubbleshare has now become my official photo album site.
