100 million photos uploaded to facebook a day. Wow how digital has changed the world.

What is interesting is that LuLa probably has a dozen uploads a day. Why is the LuLa community so reluctant to show their images?

I guess because we're interested in profound critiques of images, whereas Facebook folks are mainly interested in sharing snapshots.  ;)

There's no user gallery or any other place to share photos like there is on photo.net or DPReview which would encourage people to post more, and to have them all in one place. Posting on forums doesn't count.
