the bang for my buck is all about the flickr. i love all aspects of it.
its upload tools and online features really speak to me. flickr has all
of the features that you listed, with the exception of openid, and the
price is a pittance for everything that i can do.
one thing that i really love, which zoomr may have [probably, but i
don't really know] is the ease of uploading camera phone pics i can
totally customize the way it posts to my account, all in the email/text
message that i send.
the stand-alone apps that have been created [juploader is one, but i
didn't like it, the interface was lame and it was a whole lot slower
than other apps offered,] or their online upload interface. those both
are great by my standards.

So I've been using beta.zooomr.com for a while. And I really like it.
Trouble is, they've had some serious problems with their servers. I
think
the whole two man company isn't enough for them and they should hire more
people, but that's not the problem I come to you pluggers with today.
Instead, I'd like to detail out the requirements I have (or would
like) for
a photo sharing site. For me, most of this seems pretty simple, but I've
yet to find a site with all of these components built in:
Things zooomr has that I like:
- Unlimited Storage - Seems easy, but I really do have 7G of pictures
I've taken this year alone. Don't even start asking about last year.
- Simple login - zooomr uses OpenID for login, or you can assign your
own. I like the concept of OpenID, and I think it'll catch on.
- External Upload tool - In this case its the same one that flickr
uses, jUploader. A nice java based tool which makes it easier to be
cross
platform. jUploader will allow you to resize your photos before
sending
them up, very nice features
- Sets/Grouping - For the most part, the way zooomr allows you to
create simple easy sets of pictures, grouped by simple things
- View Mode - View pictures in order, either from the set or all
pictures. The way flickr does it just bugs me for some reason.
zooomr's
way seems more clear to me
- Easy rotation - Although I found that the zooomr tools for this were
easy to use, they didn't always work correctly.
I am sure there are a ton of options out there. I am interested in
both for
pay, and free, but I'd prefer a free site for obvious reasons.
I go into this with my eyes open. I choose my own participatory
panopticon.
So now let the debate begin.
Cheers,
Clint
