As one of the few parents on the Mashable team, Mark had a more unique perspective on photo-sharing network TotSpot than myself. It's great to see a family-oriented site geared towards the early adopter crowd nonetheless, given the ease with which content can be aggregated from across the web and distributed through one's channel on TotSpot. Now that the team has had time to benefit from the feedback of avid early adopters like Mark, and a reported 8,500 other users, TotSpot has launched its public beta in the past few weeks, and is rolling out several new features today.
Public pages top the new feature list, which makes showing off your kids' photos and videos that much easier. Privacy settings are still in place, so you can make a page private or password protect it (to keep things in the family). Interestingly enough, founder Adam Katz told us that this feature came as a request from users, most of which have heard about TotSpot through the company's Twitter stream, proving yet again TotSpot's appeal in the early adopter crowd and its ongoing dedication to both aggregation and redistribution of content.
Other new features include custom TotSpot themes (it's like branding for your babies!), and the ability to organize your photos across albums. I imagine this last new feature is the most important for TotSpot users, as it allows for a better experience overall, given that TotSpot is a media-sharing site in the end.
