I'm using myphotoalbum.com http://thewallens.myphotoalbum.com/albums... - Gunnybear ™

I'll stick probably to Picasa in the future, because of integration on our phone :) Plus, I expect that Google will do a one-for-all storage for pics, mail, etc... and I'll have that for everything else. If you aren't afraid of the big G, I think their storage will be the way to go. - Tim Hoeck

problem with the Picasa is the piddly storage and the cost for extra is high compared to other choices. Myphotoalbum is 20 a year for unlimited storage. - Gunnybear ™

have you thought of smugmug? - Ryan Gerritsen

I host most of my photos using Gallery and also use Picasa for a subset of photo albums from my Gallery collection. I also post a selection on Flickr. I have a number of friends that use smugmug and seem to like the service. - Imabug

Well, integration with the G1 isn't be a make-or-break for me since most of my G1 photos get mailed into FF and then deleted, so those photos would already appear on the site via a FF embed. This is mainly for photos from the DSLR. I've definitely thought about SmugMug but am leery of the pay-only option when so many others offer a paid upgrade (essentially, a try before you buy). - FFing Enigma

Follow-up question: do any of the sites recommended (or not yet recommended) offer a mail-in option? I'd love to be able to email in a zip file and have it uploaded to the site for me (perhaps wishful thinking). - FFing Enigma

I use smugmug and like it very much - J.D. Deutschendorf

myphotoalbum does via email or mms. - Gunnybear ™

Is that for all options, Gunny, or only the paid option? - FFing Enigma

Not sure /off to investigate - Gunnybear ™

looks like the free account has the email upload option too. - Gunnybear ™

Thanks for checking, Gunny =) - FFing Enigma

Posterous is completely free and lets you email images. - Vezquex

I like prefer Picasa because the software is freaking awesome.. it will auto-sync to your picasa account (if you prefer).. it also has upload via email (I don't think zip format .. unsure)... by the way, I am not "disagreeing" with Gunny... I haven't heard of myphotoalbum (maybe its a big site) .. but I prefer to stick with someone I know will be around for the long haul, especially for pictures... how about tagging, geo-info, etc - is that important? Figure out exactly what you want and that will help narrow the choices. - Tim Hoeck

I've used Flickr before and personally am not a fan: their uploader takes forever. And like I said, this isn't for photos from the G1 (those come to FF 99% of the time), but from the DSLR. Geotagging is of no interest to me. Vezquex, I've got a Posterous but I don't consider it an option because it's doesn't have album capability (nor does it offer a photograph widget that I am aware of). - FFing Enigma

I'm using Flickr. I was using Picasa, but when I finally had to get more space, they wanted like $80/year. Flickr only charges $24.95/year and this includes unlimited storage of photos and videos. - Shevonne

Smugmug - I am an absolute fanatic about smugmug. - Dan owns Comicsforge.com

I'm giving a spin to ourdoings with my new G1, I like it organizes photos automatically by date http://ourdoings.com - Jorge Escobar

OurDoings has a slideshow widget. Scroll to the bottom of http://ourdoings.com/jungleg... for an example. It also accepts zip files by email. If you think you'll be doing most of your uploading by email, you can get started by sending an empty message to begin@ourdoings.com with Subject: b - Bruce Lewis

Thanks for the heads up on OurDoings: I've heard of it but had never really looked at it. Accepting zipped email attachments is really a nice feature, but there's no albuming at all? Hmm... - FFing Enigma

Yep. Instead of creating an album, you put a headline on (at least) the first day of the events that would comprise the album. It's designed for real life doings, that don't always fit neatly into albums. Disclaimer: I'm biased because I made it. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo

Hey, nothing wrong with having two asses ;-) (sorry, old Saturday Night Live reference). The only reason albuming (or at least, the option to have them) would be a sticking point for me is because I take photos that are related in subject or location but not time. For example: pictures of my tomato plants as they go through various stages of growth. Chronological sorting only would make it neigh on impossible for me to group those photos together. - FFing Enigma

You can make a separate ourdoings site for your tomato plants. You just ignore the little paragraph telling you to question whether you really want a separate site because chronology works better than albums for most doings. If you have multiple ourdoings sites, crossposting means just checking one more box. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo

Ahhh, ok. Question then (since I have you here): would cross posting be a viable option from email? I.e. send it to 2 separate OurDoings email address to include it in two different sites? What about organization after the fact: would it be possible to include old photos in a new OurDoings site (say, my azaleas). - FFing Enigma

You can have different email addresses for different ourdoings sites. Organization after the fact is what ourdoings is really about, so definitely old photos are good. The subtle difference between ourdoings and blogs is that the operative date is when the doings happened, not when they were published. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo

Thanks for the details, Bruce. I'm taking a look at all the options given so far (except of course SmugMug, since there's no way for me to try them without purchasing =( ...) - FFing Enigma

I use Flickr. Rocks. If you haven't used the Uploadr recently, there has been much work done on it (it does still have some warts). I personally am using the website one now (it's very capable now). In addition there are about a zillion 3rd party tools that work well w/ Flickr upload API...even if you don't like a particular upload tool, I imagine you can find one you're happy w/. I just email pics and vids from the G1; works fine. - Ken Kennedy

I use Flickr and like the tagging and sharing capabilities. I haven't tried any of the embeddable widgets, though. - John (bird whisperer)

We use the Flickr API for the Antarctic site: http://antarctic.fury.com and my personal photo blog: http://stories.phoenixfeather.net I love my SmugMug, but I use Flickr for most of my everyday things. - Rachel Lea Fox

OurDoings sounds like the simplified solution that would get me taking more pics, but Tina you just made me think a private.room on FF wouldeven do the trick. What do I lose by doing that? - Edward Zwart from Android

You wouldn't lose anything, Edward, other than the ability to create an album type setup (thought it could be hacked in by creating another private room, similar to the OurDoings solution of another site). Also, a private room on FF wouldn't be embeddable onto an external site (the room would have to be public, though you could restrict it to just you being able to post). ETA: also, you'd have to do some CSS magic to make it look right even after the embed. - FFing Enigma

Edward, the main difference would be that FriendFeed orders items by how hot the conversation is on them, while OurDoings keeps them in order of occurrence. I think the best approach is using both: http://ourdoings.com/ourdoin... - Bruce Lewis from fftogo

Right, thanks u2, gonna try the combo.... I really hope this gets me taking more pics. - Edward Zwart

Flickr no contest. Have images on the Eye-Fi card automatically post photos there as private. It'll automatically create Sets based on the date the photo was taken. From the phone, I have 3 emails addresses set up. One for posting public images, another for private, and another that will create a blog post with the image. For multiple photo attachments, I'm starting to use Posterous but also have it send the images to Flickr. - Rodfather

the ones ive seen the most are (of course) flickr, tumblr, and some yfrog site - echostreamer

Not sure if they are still offering it, but when I tried smugmug out they had a free trial period. - Aaron Choate from Nambu

I'm happy with Picasa, but Flickr was great whilst it lasted. I'd return if there wasn't that little problem of needing a Pro account to store more stuff, without the last 190-something items disappearing into the abyss/becoming unavailable. - Tyson Key

I love Picasa - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

Just checked out Picasa's cost. The first 1GB is free and 10GB costs $20/yr. 10GB is a buttload of space. Probably 10,000 to15,000 screen sized images (1280x1280). Unless you are uploading full resolution images from your 5D Mkii, I doubt most people would be able to use up 10GB of space. - Jeff P. Henderson

I am using Flickr with the uploader plugin for lightroom. I have a free pro account through my internet provider. I use to use Zooomr but have moved most photos across to Flickr so cant comment on them recently. - CJPhoto

I use Flickr and had used SmugMug until recently. I really don't like Flickr's policies, so I might go back to SmugMug at some point, but I like the community aspect of Flickr. SmugMug are more expensive though. - Rick Cogley

Flickr for me. Great features, good community and options for free and pro accounts. - Kol Tregaskes

I mix it up between Flickr & KodakGallery. My family likes password protected photos, and printing things, so we started at KG early on. Flickr I use for blogging. I kind of hate their interface. But I like having a static link I can refer to, and some of the groups. - anna sauce
