Some things I've thought of:
* Imgur is good for just storing/sharing pics. The interface is kind of
crude & probably not something to be used for "archival" purposes.
* If you're not planning on printing your pics, you can get away with a
low(ish) resolution scan. A 150dpi scan should be twice as fast as a
300dpi scan.
* Buy a cheap(ish) all-in-one scanner/printer with a USB port. I was
given one and it allows you to scan directly to the thumb drive. Load
5-6 pics on the scanner, hit scan and move onto the next 5-6 pics.
Cut/divide them later on your computer while you listen to podcasts or
whatever or whenever you have time.
* A guy I know has 12 (maybe more) TERAbytes on his personal home media
server. 6Tb for storage (photos, movies, mp3s, etc) and 6Tb for nightly
back-up. It's pretty standard thinking to have double capacity so you
can fully backup everything. And, if you can, you definitely want
off-site/multiple location storage.
* Solid-state storage (I.e. thumb drives) is better than other media.
You can't scratch, shatter, etc them like a DVD or a HDD. Also the size
issue.
* Read the TOS of any cloud service, if you use one. Facebook can use
any media you upload to "your" page for any reason (I.e. monetizing your
content) they want.
