online photo albums

I was asked today by some non web people how easy it is to load photos onto the web.

Now I have my own favourites for photos, but wanted to see if there were others.

I looked at :

• Bigpond Bigblog
• microsoft spaces
• blogger
• yahoo
• picassa (google)
• flickr(yahoo) & livejournal
• kodak

out of all of these the bigblog, blogger and spaces accounts were not useful as they were blog driven with photo areas, rather than pure photo storage.

I personally like picassa, however you must use software downloaded to your pc. If you are not on your normal pc then its not as good. Taking it into account I think that flickr is a great freebie with software as part of the browser not the pc - hence it has my choice as preferred straight online photo album.

Do you load photo's onto the web, and do you like the system you use. Is it cumbersome, does it use jargon you are not familar with ?
