JAlbum is a great photo book site. It seems interesting. Looks like a cool idea for clubs, organizations, or work. I would probably pay for a good photo album of Obama.

Photo books are an awesome way to show off your family to everyone. Jalbum is a nice way to set up a photo book, and there are a lot of free photo book website out there. Anyway you look at it, you will always run into people that want to see a pic of you, so you might as well set up a nice photo book of everything that is important to you on jalbum so that you can just send them the link to your photo book.
