I got turned on to a new technology from Microsoft called Photosynth which is a totally awesome way to post and view panoramic/3D photo sets. I am a total geek and not a lot of things impress me in the gadget and internet world very often, but this technology is amazing. So I REALLY think that folks need to go to the site and download the software at http://photosynth.net/default.aspx (the installer is a little quirky, you DO NOT need an account to view, just to create your own). The site hosts the pic sets for free (20 GB limit per account).
These are the 4 panoramic photo sets I posted

Unfortunately, Photosynth is not Mac-ready.
It is not PC ready either, it states it has downloaded yet you can't do a thing with it arrgh
Sorry I won't download that program.
I honestly suggest you use something like Flicker, Photobucket or some other site that you can post pictures and post a link to.
