Flickr
As you may have noticed from the little box with photos on the right side of this page, I started using Flickr yesterday. It is one of those photo services where you can upload your photos and allow others to view them.
What I liked about Flickr (as opposed to other similar services) are the tools for web site owners like myself. Flickr allows you to add the photo "badge" that I have in the right column of this page. Plus, more importantly to me, it provides you with an RSS feed of your photo collection.
So my site will always have the 3 latest photos that I've uploaded and anyone who has my feed bookmarked will get alerted whenever I publish new photos. Very cool.
The service is still in beta; however, it is free, so you might as well give it a try if you're looking to upload and share your photos online.
