Recommend me a photo hosting site?
I've been talking to my family about sharing more photos with them, so I'm thinking about signing up for one of the free photo sharing services to make things easy on myself rather than attaching them to emails or doing it all by hand on my web host.
Flickr is pretty popular - is it good? What else is out there? What do you use? At this point I'm not sure what I'll be needing exactly, though I'm thinking that a) the ability to either make photos publicly visible or limit access to certain people, b) to group into albums, and c) some sort of cropping/resizing tools are probably going to be necessary. (But I expect most photo hosting sites can do that.) And I don't want to pay for it.
It's really funny ... I've been doing the Internet the same way for ages; the last big change in how I use it was when I signed up for LJ in 2005. But this summer I started using Wordpress to organize my personal website (rather than writing HTML by hand) and signed up for Tumblr, and all of a sudden I'm looking at ALL the ways I do things online (most of which date back to the late '90s) and going, what the hell, self, it's 2012! The Internet has come a long way and you haven't!
