Flickr vs. Photobucket vs. Zooomer vs. Picasa vs. Shutterfly???
Anyone have experience with more than one of the above, and can do a compare and contrast? I do currently have a Flickr account, but some of the limits of a free account are annoying.

Limits on free accounts are always annoying. :( :( :( I guess that's why they're free.

Yeah, for now, I'm likely to stick with a free account. Maybe I'm just being cheap, but maybe it's a good time to hold onto one's money.

1. Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket
Flickr has the advantage in that more people use it to get and provide feedback - if that's what you're looking for.

Picasa has the advantage in sheer space.

Photobucket has the disadvantage of an unattractive, cluttered layout, but otherwise I have little problem with it.

photobucket is simply that, a bucket to throw shite in

5. On a related note:
Does anyone have experience with the sites that let you sell prints online at a profit? I ran across one a couple years ago and can't remember how I got there or what it was called.

6. With a smugmug pro account,
you can set your own prices.

8. Thank you
Looks like what I've been looking for. Bit on the expensive side though. The pro site would work if I knew people would buy my pictures, but the lower priced sites don't let you make a profit. Wish they had a three month start up trail on the pro version.

7. Thanks all...
Looks like there's no "one size fits all" option. So I guess I'll keep my account at Flickr and open another at PhotoBucket.
