Flickr
Flickr is a photo-hosting site that, unlike others, places a lot of emphasis on sharing your photos. You can have a "buddy list" of sorts and comments are easily posted and accessible from a picture's page. Emphasis is placed on tagging, not "albuming", and so it is easy to see photos that are related to yours.
Yahoo recently purchased Flickr and instead of completely destroying it with suits and bottom lines, they've outdone themselves and not only increased features, but lowered prices. Free accounts are still free (can't get any cheaper than that) and its features were doubled (2omb upload per month and 200 hi-res pictures archived). Pro accounts are now $24.95/year and give you 2gb upload per month, down from $41.77/year and 1gb upload per month.
Despite having my own gallery, this new price/feature combination is making Flickr very tempting. I'd like to get my photographs a bit more exposure and get in on the whole community aspect of it. What del.icio.us has done for sharing bookmarks is what Flickr will do for sharing photographs. Maybe it's about time I jumped into that too.

The other two were comments that slipped through Wordpress' filters and were posted as comments. [...]
