Add me to the list. Last week, I wanted to upload a complete album of vacation photos to share with just my family (many of whom aren't on Facebook). G+ allows me to generate a unique link to that album without requiring anyone to sign up to view the photos.

Just last night a family member wouldn't Skype with me because the software "wasn't setup" on their computer. I initiated a hangout (since they use gmail) and everything worked perfectly.

Google's strategy reminds me a little bit of Microsoft's where they are the service that pops up first when people are looking to do things. As long as their product is equal to or better than their competitors, they should be able to win the slow race.

Every facebook album has a unique URL you can share with non-Facebook people.

(just checked, yes that feature is still there. It's on the bottom of every photo album that you own)

Good to know - thanks!
