Photo sharing sites have cropped up everywhere. It seems like everyone wants to be able to share their photographs with their friends and family in other locations. With the digital market what it is, I am quite certain it will continue to grow. Are you looking for a good photo sharing site, but are unsure which ones are good, and which ones are simply mediocre? Here is a great list of the best places for photo sharing on the Internet.

Flikr

Probably the most popular photo sharing site. With plenty of fun features this site has hundreds of thousands of visitors a day. The most popular features include, the ease of uploading photographs, the ability to organize them the way you want them, being able to share them with whoever you want or make them completely private, a great feature that allows you to Drag-and-drop your photos onto a map to show where you took them, or browse a world map to see where other people have been and what they saw, the ability to make cool stuff like prints, calling cards, photo-books, slideshow-DVDs, postage stamps, widgets and more and the ability to keep in touch with friends and family, by creating groups.

Drop Shots

The new kid on the block, but dubbed as The #1 family photo and video sharing service on the internet. It is certainly not lacking in great service and features. With dozens of ways to share your photos, fun things to make and create, and a one click drag and drop for your blog, this photo sharing site is moving up the ladder in popularity. You can even quickly see all of your photos on one page making it a bit easier to find what you are looking for.

Web Shots

An oldie but goody one of the oldest on the Internet, yet still one of the best. They offer a free membership and a premium membership. The free membership gets you a customizable homepage. It also allows you to upload, store and share 1000 photos. In addition you get 100 more photos for each month that you are a member. You can also upload on the go from your mobile phone. The premium membership is $2.49/month and boasts a much better package if you are a real photography buff. Everything above, plus no ads, the ability to upload,store and share 5000 photos. Plus 500 more for each month you are a member. You can also download unlimited hi-resolution professional shots.

Pixamo is another that I think deserves mention. It has a great set of security features that make me comfortable storing even my most private family videos, and I really like the tagging system. You can tag and link photos and videos, which makes for great searching, sharing, and discovering! You can download full size high resolution images, order prints, and embed photos and videos into blogs or other sites.
