Re: Online photo storage

iView was acquired by Microsoft and has morphed into Microsoft
Expression Media. I don't believe it's geared towards a client/server
setup, like Portfolio, but instead better suited for individual
photographers to catalog and tweak their own photos.

I've used Gallery in the past and find it quite suitable for such a
project, although its tagging and keyword based smart album features are
immature at best.

I currently use Smugmug for my personal photo library and like it quite
a bit. I believe they have pro and organizational packages that might
fit your needs.
