Title: Tutorial 1 - Photosharing Sites
Post by: The Peregrine Chick on April 06, 2011, 17:40
All are welcome to come by and join in with questions and suggestions.  We will focus on individual photosharing sites in later tutorials.

Here is some background for those that want it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_sharing - basic background
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_photo_sharing_websites - here's a list, not sure if all are active

here are some reviews (for what they are worth):
http://photo-sharing-services-review.toptenreviews.com/ - this review is done by the photo sharing websites I believe
http://socialtimes.com/top-5-best-free-photo-sharing-sites_b7497 - this is from a social media site but would work for our needs as well
http://hardgeek.org/20-amazing-websites-to-share-your-photos-online - this one looked kinda cool as it has photos which always help - and it includes the main ones at use here - Photobucket, Flickr, Kodak and PBase along with 16 others
http://www.brighthub.com/multimedia/photography/articles/74410.aspx - another review if you need/want :)

And just to throw in something interesting for conversation's sake:
