This way several members can contribute their favorite photos to the group. The site is also geared towards setting up communities to share photos with. There is also some integration with Facebook via various apps. They also have several options for organizing your photos. They do the metadata detection and geotagging that I really like. I can mark pictures as private or share with friends or family or both. I can upload to Flickr directly from Lightroom. If I had to settle on just ONE, it probably would be Flickr because it has the most features that I’m looking for. The bottom line is that all of these services offer similar features, but in most cases each service offers one or two things that the others don’t. The new iPhoto can also upload/sync to Facebook and Flickr, but not or any of the others (besides MobileMe).

There is both a Flickr and Facebook upload/output plugin for Lightroom! Since all my photos are in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, this makes it easy to share! However, if I want certain photos on my iPhone or Apple TV, I export them from Lightroom to iPhoto just for the sake of convenience. I was testing a new blogging app for the iPhone and in order to get pictures into the blog they had to be uploaded to a Picasa account. If I upload to Shutterfly or Kodak, then my friends/family can order their own prints. and MobileMe seem to have the slickest slideshow/presentation features. However, most of my friends and family are on Facebook. I like the fact that Flickr will automatically detect the metadata and geotag information of the shots I upload and place them on a map. How many services do I really need? Is one better than the rest? Unfortunately, I haven’t found one that really does EVERYTHING I’d want. I have photos on all of these different services that I have shared with family, friends and colleagues. I’ve got a, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, NAPP, MobileMe, MPIX, Shutterfly, Kodak, and a few other accounts I’m not thinking of at the moment.

Then I checked to see what a Flickr Pro account actually costs and while $25/year certainly isn’t going to break the bank, I paused and said “do I really need this?” How many photo sharing sites do we need?

Apparently it came as part of one of my other internet hosting packages and I guess now it’s no longer included. I thought to myself, “do I even have 200 images on here?” I had never paid for a Flickr Pro account in the first place. Later in the evening I uploaded a new pic to my Flickr account only to receive a message stating that my “Flickr Pro” account had expired and that now my account would only display my most recent 200 images. A colleague of mine sent me a link to his pictures from an event that we attended and I thought “oh yeah, I have a few galleries on here too!” So needless to say I did a little house cleaning and updated the pics I had up there. Yesterday I logged on to my site, which I hadn’t updated basically since the first day I setup my account.
