Some of you may know that the Library of Congress has been using Flickr
lately in a test run. It was pretty neat, and viewers of the historical
images were adding interesting information, and plenty of user-friendly
tags to the images of African-American workers in shipyards during WWII.
Alas, I don't have the link to the LC project handy, but it shouldn't be
hard to find. 

Personally, I haven't used Picasa, but I did have my first run with
Flikr lately and it worked like a charm.

Hi,

I personally used both and Flicker has a regular fee once you go over
200 pics vs. Picasa (which I use now) gives you a GB of space.  Yahoo
permits some image editing/special effects online, if you didn't do it
before uploading.  Both of those sites have utilities to permit bulk
uploading and downsizing of the images.  For the most part, those are
the main differences.
