I have used ICE for awhile to stitch panoramas. It works very well. I have ignored the Publish to the WEB option until this morning. I tried it with a disappointing panorama and was quite impressed. It allows you to zoom around the panorama in any direction and even has a feature which allows a 3D like sequence from a series of photos you take as you move forward or backwards in space (though a cave, over Mt. Everest, etc). I need to play with it more to get the full idea but I think anyone would find it interesting and perhaps useful. Here is the link:
