Photo sharing sites which is best?
Currently using Flickr because of the bundled deal with At&T Uverse (which is now a final straw in the decision to pull the plug on that service) and now find that as of Feb it will no longer be bundled. So to keep what I have will cost me another $25.00 per year. Any thoughts (pro's & cons) on other sites would be appreciated.

Thanks Much!

1. I use photobucket, but they charge a yearly fee
and the one thing I am not crazy about with their service: it seems like everyday they are futzing around with the user interface, adding features, and some don't work. I've just been too lazy to explore other hosting sites. :hi:

4. Yes, but they do offer a "Pro" service at $39.95 a year.

6. Which features are more important to you?
For example, Flickr tends to be more social while Smugmug tends to be more show/sell.

7. I have looked at Smugmug and think it's got some great stuff, but
don't really think any of my shots would be good enough to sell in any event. I would have to improve greatly just to get to "amateur" photographer in my own opinion. So being able to share with family and friends is probably the more important feature.
