I agree with Steve on this. Although it stinks to have a service present itself as free and then begin to charge for its service, I'm sure that was PhotoPoint's business strategy from the beginning - draw people in by offering it for for free and charge them at some future point once PPoint had proven its worth. I agree its the ol' bait and switch, and if on principle, that makes some of you need to post your photos somewhere else, so be it. Personally, not having my own webpage makes PPoint worth the buck a month.
