a Question about photo hosting web sites
Which one do you like best and why?
Many of us like to take pictures while on rides to share with others. I see many here have used Photobucket.com if you are are you using the free version or did you buy an upgraded account?
What about the other photo hosting web sites?
smugmug.com/
picasaweb.google.com
www.flickr.com
and I am sure there are others. How do they compare? It is worth it to pay for the upgraded services some of them offer? Do you have to have an account to view pictures hosted there? etc, etc

I doubt this is the right place for this question.

Ride it like you stole it
I use paid Photobucket because I want to share photos with more than BikeForums.

Google's Picasa for me
get a gmail account and it's free with loads of storage.
I used to use Photobox but now find Picasa more useful.

Edit: There are still size limitations, just larger, but no bandwidth limitations.

I use Picasa.
You don't need a gmail address but you do need a google account (free).
I can't insert photos from Picasa here though - I think because Picasa gives the photos a file name that BF doesn't like, but linking is easy.
Edit: not impossible, highly clunky and I keep forgetting how I did it.
