Thanks Jeremy from Conncept for this great review:
Family friendly! That’s what I think about this really cool interactive website still in beta version - Amiglia. It’s a really easy-to-use family album (photos and video), family tree, family events, geo-tagging, family stories, family memories, family recipes website…and more! And fun to try to figure out how to pronounce it. Think your family tree and your spouse’s family tree. Put a picture with a name - literally. It’s a great concept and fills a niche that others like Flickr and Zoomr haven’t. Not that they should or are trying. Actually, I’m not sure that Amiglia intends for their users to replace their favorite photoblog, rather, it appears their willing to "work well with others." They’ve recently added new importing features allowing users to import their favorite pictures or tags from Flickr and GEDCOM for genealogy users.
As with any family, security is important. Amiglia reflects this with the ability to keep the site public, create a group password, and/or create an admin password. The option to manage an Admin password and a separate family password is a fantastic option! Way to think ahead, Amiglia! While we’re talking security, their Privacy Policy seems encouraging and not so subtle as with other sites. For me, it’s like my family in Vegas tells me, "We’re not in Alabama anymore, lock the doors." So, I created an admin password and a family password.
So, go ahead and put a face with a name, share with friends and family, and have fun. Blessings!
You're welcome! Amiglia is a great product!

I am new here and I don't know what big fuss about this? I tried upload some of pics of my daughter and her friends. It takes forever. Need find a way for quick upload.

Hi Brian, well the slowness does have an explanation. Amiglia is one of the few sites out there which saves your original file with the highest resolution when you upload. That's why it may take a little longer sometimes to upload your photo. But you end up with a reliable backup of all of your photos. Also - if you use our Flash uploader the upload speed is definitely a lot higher than the simple browse and upload one.
