The experience when you're trying to upload a dozen or a hundred photos is obviously different.
How so? In my experience when I have needed to upload multiple files the website has presented a Flash based uploader that really only differs from a native HTML form in that it allows for multiple photos to be selected in the browse dialog. I've never uploaded more than perhaps half a dozen photos at a time using one of these - do they not scale to hundreds of files?
I'm not clear on what the relevance of your comment is. To quickly recap — I'm contrasting what Picurio offers via a plugin for Safari against what's available in all the browsers on my machine today; which includes Flash based uploaders that allow you to select multiple files in the browse dialog. What were you trying to convey with your comment?
I'm sorry, I misread your comment as stating that there was no real benefit to getting multiple-select, that it'd be just fine to present multiple file <input>s without the baggage that flash brings along.
