This might interest some people, i'm trying dotphoto the free version, just started it.
Currently using Picassa web albums for personal stuff but not quite happy how that's turning out. I've used Flickr pro, but i hate sharing via a link currently i'm using imageshack for general stuff as you don't have to sign up like photobucket now.
Eventually the best is to just use your own site from your ISP or external all paying as they're never free and an album shell as you have more/better control.
