Yes, definitely, though it assumes that you have a private web site 
available, and that the person on the other end knows how to use it.
When it 
comes to sending pictures of the kids to the inlaws, it's sometimes
easier to 
send it as an attachment.

However, I much prefer grabbing the attachment off the web myself. My
home 
connection is still dial-up and slow. I'd rather someone tell me where
to get 
the attachment than have to wait for it to download as part of my
e-mail.
