    Its a really great "just manaing my own stuff" but the lack of public albums where non-registered users can view read only is a dealbreaker - if they fixed this it would be a great alternative to flickr and smugmug

    Flickr is designed for photo sharing, Recall Photos is designed for private storage. Fundamentally different.
