I just recently discovered shuttercal.com. – it is online photo community. It allow you to upload a photo a day. It also has an online community of friends. You can FAV others photos but you can’t right click and copy. Not as elaborate and social as flickr, but so far the people have been very friends with their comments and many beautiful captures are posted by the members.

Thank you very much for your page. It was very helpful as I try to figure out how to set up my own webpage where I will sell antiques, craft items, vintage clothing and ephemera. I have set up a blog to stream business to my etsys and I was thinking about buying a flickr upgrade to generate even more business. I will try fotsi first. Thanxagain

You didn’t mention http://www.iscrawl.com, which has no limitation on disk space and sizes….

there is yet another photo sharing site that deserves a mention : BlueMelon

it is in some ways much like flickr, much like smugmug, much like others – yet different and i like it more.

it has got a free 1 GB account and an unlimited pro account.

DZ,

There is a new site http://www.snapixel.com which is giving away free unlimited accounts — they have similar features to flickr and zooomr — just check out the tour page to see the screenshots.

The service is created by the HM Labs team which has been around for about 4 years now so they are probably here to stay.

I found out about it while searching on Twitter: http://twitter.com/snapixel

Ciao!

It says in the article “…with Zooomr you get unlimited bandwidth, file storage and uploading and . . . it’s all free.”

This may have been true, but it is not any longer. I opened a zoomr account because rogers and yahoo were causing problems with flickr (flickr itself is fine, but its partners create problems, I won’t go into it here). If you don’t pay an annual fee, Zoomr places an advertisement in place of one out of every four photos you upload. So after you go to the trouble of uploading a set of pictures, 25% of them are not viewable. There is an advertisement in their places. I tried reuploading the replaced pictures under different names, but somehow zoomr knew what I was doing and prevented the photos from being shown.

Needless to say, this is not helpful. I am not a professional photographer and I’m not interested in paying to store photos so I can get an http page so I can insert pictures into discussion forums. that are only to be shown to one or 2 people, and then never seen again. I’m not making money off the photos, they have limited usefulness.

So once again, I am looking for an alternative to flickr, and now also an alternative to zoomr.

Tasha,

I’m glad I could help. From the looks of it, you’ve been busy taking full advantage of Fotki. I’m glad you’re enjoying it so much.

I found this webpage about 6 months ago after paying a subscription to the ‘named one’ but just not feeling at home with it and finding the layout etc just crap and browsing totally frustrating and hateful..
I looked through all of those suggested here.
That is when I found Fotki http://www.fotki.com It Totally Won me over! I have been there for 6 months now and LOVE it.. Love it .. LOVE IT!!!
I would never have found it without you because I searched on Google and never came across it!!
You wont believe how glad I am I came across your page… :)

I’m definitely going to check out Zoomr. I was just slighted by Flickr a few weeks ago. They decided to delete my PAID Pro Flickr account without warning and after giving me the hardest time I’ve ever had with any customer service (not even Best Buy was this bad)- they still have not told me exactly WHY my account was deleted. I apparently violated some TOS, but they won’t tell me which one. Check out my full story and show your support in the comments here: http://adamdexter.wordpress.com/2008/10/01/my-flickr-account-deactivated/
