    Awesome list of Photosharing sites Steven. How about Facebook for photo sharing? Flickr is were I host all my pics, but I did play around with Facebook for that as well.

    I use Flickr only and I should say that it is the best that I’ve used. I find the photos I used on my blog there as well since they categorize their photos with different CC license.

    Jansie,
    One of the main benefits to using these services is that you aren’t using your own disk space and bandwidth. Another advantage is that some of these services, Flickr especially, have a lot of features and functions that you can easily integrate into your site/blog with little work.

    Adam,
    I don’t have much experience with Facebook, and I didn’t even think of them. How was your experience with it?

    Brad,
    Thanks for letting me know about the bad link. It’s fixed now.

    And this is probably only 1/10 of the number of photo sharing sites out there!

    Yeah, I think you’re right Andrew. I’m kind of amazed that anyone uses those that aren’t the major competitors.

    I think you can add Joomeo (http://www.joomeo.com) to this impressive list.

    For me, probably the best “soft like” web based online photo sharing website.
