There are services that allow people to share images with friends and family in multiple ways.  Facebook and Twitter allow people to post or tweet images publicly to other users.  SMS service allows people to send private photos, as does SnapChat, though the latter deletes photos once a recipient has seen them.  However, these apps and services keep image sharing in a bubble of sorts, at best allowing people to accompany photos with a text caption.
