Flickr

The photo version of YouTube, Flickr is a great way to explore and find the photos you want. With the groups and topics, its convenient to find categorical photos and get involved with other enthusiasts for the same type of photos. Its also good for getting your work known to the wider world which employers can view easily. The privacy feature is good to share photos to friends and family members only. For example your having a holiday on Fiji and want to share your fun experiences right away, but to those who you know. Its layout isn't perfect, but with so many little features and settings, its no big surprise. For example I was trying to find where to upload more photos. Since its the main purpose for this site, I would have thought there would be a big button 'Upload photos'. Instead its under the 'You' tag. Overall thumbs up, but google's Picasa might be better but definitely Zoomer is superior to any other online photo sharing.
