Ever since I got my new digital camera I start looking for a good photo sharing web site. I do have about 7000 pictures taken in the course of 5-6 years on my computer , but most of them are not big in size nor in resolution. Now the photos I take are commonly over 1 MB in size – and finding a good site that allows full size sharing can be a challenging task. I have to admit that I do not like photobucket for variety of reasons – not enough features , limited uploads ..etc. I used to have an account there , but found myself using it less and less.

For quick posts and staff I have been using ImageShack.us and there did not have that less then 1.5 MB limit – I would have liked them even more. Still they have done some major improvements – but somehow still seem to lack that community feel. Imageshack.us is perfect for blogs and most images on mine are hosted there.

Flickr is nice – I have been using it for a while now – even in this blog as you may have noticed .  However the 100 MB monthly limit is hard to bear . Getting a Pro account there would be nice – but since I do not have credit card – and their payments options are very limited unless someone makes me a gift I will be not be able to get a pro account there. Then I still like it so I guess will be using it – even in its free version.

Zooomr is a whole different thing . I have read about it – and wanted to get an account there , but there has been an update process there and the site was not working for a while. I kept watching what is going on there – and today found out that the new version of Zooomr Mark III is launched . Zooomr has all the features Flickr does – but does not have limits neither on the file size nor on the mouthy bandwidth – which make it now my favorite image hosting site able to do everything I could ever want . It has a very nice set of features – which I am yet to explore.In fact I am considering contributing to Zooomr – in the near future.
