These creation sharing tools are excellent for both personal and professional use. I used the big huge labs motivator of William Wordsworth in a project for SLIS this semester. The class was an education class and I saw bighugelabs as a great way to broaden the ways that students present their information.
For libraries and personal use you could use picturetrail to share pictures of events, or just day to day activities with your patron base, or with your family. Using picturetrail as a way to increase library website traffic would work especially well if there were lots of pictures of patrons from the event. That way grandparents, parents, and close friends would look at the library website for pictures of their children.
These tools were pretty easy to use. Picturetrail was a bit confusing at parts because it immediately adds all the glitz and glam. It took me a few to figure out how to get out of it. Also, why isn't flickr linked to their site? That would have made things a lot easier for everyone involved.
