Path, a startup with an unusual take on mobile photo sharing, just announced that it has raised $8.65 million in its first round of institutional funding. Path was co-founded by Napster creator Shawn Fanning, former Facebook executive Dave Morin, and Dustin Mierau, so it’s no surprise that the company enlisted high-profile backers — prestigious venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (which has been making a big push to invest in social networking startups) and Index Ventures. San Francisco-based Path calls its iOS app a “personal network”, because it’s supposed to help you interact with you family members and close friends, not the looser connections found on Facebook.

(Credit: Screenshot by Jasmine France) As evidenced by the introduction of Unifi at CES 2011, there's a move to provide cloud storage services that focus specifically on media files. Of course, the problem one runs into with these types of files is that they tend to be a lot larger than things like documents, spreadsheets, and presentations--downright huge, in the case of video. A new software and service called Libox is aiming to tackle that problem. Like Unifi, Libox serves to aggregate your media files from various drives and devices (though at this time, it doesn't bring in content you may have stored with other services, such as Facebook).
There are a few benefits to this method of media aggregation. So far, it's looking like Libox is doing a pretty good job delivering on its promise of media accessed anywhere easily and for free. One thing I liked off the bat is the fact that the Widows software and the Web portal offer the same visually appealing interface. Access your Photos, Music and Videos from Anywhere with Libox!

Option 2: Using Desktop Sharing Software Option 3: Access Files Directly through the Browser. Picplz mobile photo sharing for iPhone and Android. 5 Ways to Share Images on Twitter.

As the web moves toward its real-time future, Twitter is clearly becoming one of the most important ways for people to share content. From celebrity gossip to customer complaints, from blog post links to breaking news, Twitter is an amazing platform for sharing short bursts of information, both meaningful and mundane. Unfortunately, Twitter doesn't have any built-in way to attach images to its 140 character posts, so we're left turning to third-party solutions to add a little visual flair to our tweets. 1. Because Twitter doesn't directly support image attachments, a large number of third-party services have sprung up to fill that need. 2.
