Dear listserver,

I'd like to start building a simple image database at my workplace for keeping track of images sent into me from various customers. While I would very much like to use the Open Microscope Environment (OME), unfortunately I do not have the funds or the resources to setup OME over here. Therefore, I'm wondering if any of you can recommend something similar to OME, but simpler, and maybe even cloud-based. Maybe something like flickr or Picasa for freely uploading microscope images, tagging them for easy retrieval, and viewing on any internet browser. I would greatly appreciate if any of you could share some ideas on this topic.

Thanks,
