In this last of our three part series, we want to share the results of our research. Our goal was to find the few best photosharing sites that are worth the time, and eliminate those that are less advantageous. Our four winners were: Flickr, Picturetrail, Buzznet and Dotphoto. As we discover new photosharing sites, we will upate this page. If you have one to recommend, please comment.
Our four winners each met our photosharing goals and had the following characteristics:
Easy to use to upload images and organize into albums
Ability to Create titles and Descriptions for Images
Ability to link our photos to websites for more information
Ability to place the images onto our blog or website
A community which would be able to view our images, providing some PR advantages
Offered a free account, with no need to upgrade/pay unless we chose to in order to unleash more storage space and bandwidth.
How We Tested: We created an account in each of the websites and uploaded about eight photos from vacations that I have taken during 2006. We organized the photos into a vacation album and tried to add title, descriptions and links to the photos.
