Flickr has been around over years and has grown more fun. It helps that the digital photography's gone towards its milestone over many years. It is hard not to favor of Flickr as it is more interesting and an easy service to use. It is owned by Yahoo. Now, the Yahoo's Mail account has become much better than its crappy Yahoo! Photos!

It is easy to sign up for Flickr. As long as you are a member of Yahoo, you are given an opportunity to sign up here unless you aren't averse to join Yahoo. At your first attempt to sign up, you will be acknowledged that Flickr is a member of Yahoo's happy family. Hence, you are asked to sign up for a Yahoo account first. I mean, if you are not a member of Yahoo but you already have a slew of other accounts, it just simply means irksome for you. However, once you get pass this hassle, Flickr appears to be a breeze for you. You don't have to get annoying to start venturing this website as there are helpful little hints here and there to get you started, and since there are so many people on Flickr already, it is likely you will have someone to bug for tech support.

Flickr makes uploading and posting your digital images very much hassle-free. The Flickr Windows integration makes uploading as simple as a right-click. By installing the Flickr app, there will be an additional "Send to Flickr" command in the right-click menu.
It is all very easy and very streamlined but you need to accustom with the terms Flickr uses for its photostreams. Or else, once you have uploaded a few photos, you will very soon get hang of it.

Flickr has an outstanding social aspect. You get to see the latest pictures from your contacts on logging in. Its start page is relatively simple, fast-loading mix of your pictures, your contact's pictures and recently uploaded snaps. It is certainly popular with third-party app makers - you can embed Flickr feeds onto your websites, access Flickr from your desktop or Facebook.

For most users, they are satisfied with the services provided by a free account at Flickr. However, for serious snappers, they should consider about going Flickr Pro which is offered for a reasonably low price at US$24.95 a year as compared to pay a Webshots. Flickr Pro's account allows you to store high-resolution versions of your photo online. Apart from that, it gives you unlimited storage and photosets as opposed to a Free account's three photosets and 100MB per month bandwidth.
Flickr is arguably the most advanced in its features as far as integration with other services. All in one, fast interface, quick loading and community feel with a huge variety of other supports and services for third party apps are indeed hard to beat by other online photo sharing sites!
Picasa
Image sourceWhen Google bought Picasa, they decided to make it fully a part of the Google family by adding the overly documentations into its Google Wikibase. As a comparison, when Yahoo bought Flickr, they didn't make it more Yahoo alike as Frickr still has the authority to maintain its own friendly identity that is separated from the Yahoo family. And it seems that, Flickr works well for Yahoo as it has emerged as one of the famous photo sharing sites. For Picasa, though its download site is 5.8MB which is not too big by any means but its instructions just to learn how to use it is sometimes appeared to be annoying.

Though I am half declined to use this website immensely, it deserves my interest to visit this website. It is wonderful enough to insert pictures to its database while creating new images even while Picasa is opened. Certainly, it makes a wonderful computer organizer for your photos. The good thing about Picasa is that it has a fantastic photo-editing feature, making you forgive it for its troublesome which is particularly dealing with its overly wordy documentations.
