**random**

I have about 100 ticket stubs from various events in my life. I scanned them all into separate PDFs, and now I want to share them online, where friends can view them, comment on them, etc.

What's the best way to do this? (not on something as widespread as facebook where practically the whole world can easily find and view it)

Thanks

Is there any specific reason why you can't simply host them on a site of your own?

If you don't already have hosting then check if your ISP gives you some free space. This isn't as common as it used to be but it still happens.

You might have a problem finding "free" hosting that will support PDFs as the hosting service can't put ads on them. Individual jpegs displayed on a static html page would be fine.

You can NOINDEX the pages if you want and give out the url only to chosen people.

i can convert the pdf's to jpg and upload them to my site, but I want my friends to be able to comment on them, etc. something exactly like facebook, but without all 500 of my other 'friends' seeing all the comments and scans. I understand anywhere on the web i host this stuff other people can see it, I'm just trying to avoid the mass exposure that would come with posting them on a myspace/fb.

I'd put them in a password protected directory and only give that password to the friends I want to have access...

Put them on a page and embed a guestbook or forum on the page as well.

It won't look as neat and integrated as a specialist service but you could throw it together in an hour or less.

I haven't used it, so I'm not sure, but what about Google's Picasa? Can you set it up to only allow certain people to leave comments?

you could try flickr. you can store the photos on there, and start a private group which only invited people can see.
