You missed out on lifeblob photo sharing and discovery – http://www.lifeblob.com. There is no limit on space and as you add your photos, it discovers related photos of friends and shows them next to yours. Also, if you are an amateur photographer looking to grow your expertise, this is a great place to be instead of the flickr pro community.
WOW, I was going to start a free photo sharing site but it looks like the market is saturated. What do you think? Is it to late?

Photo Funia is nice . But let me introduce you guyz a new photo sharing site i.e photodekho.com having fantastic features, easy to use.You may find it much better than many other photosharing websites on the web.

All the mentioned web sites require a lot of time and effort. To help you Enhance your photos for wrinkles, blemishes, pimples and so on and also with creating funny photos then visit http://www.PhoTouchs.com
This is an absolutely FREE website,s o try it out. I found it really amazing.
I simply love Mejuba the best. From what I know Mejuba (mejuba.com) is THE only site that offers free and unrestricted uploads of videos and pictures without ANY restrictions on file size, video length or monthly traffic. And uploads your originals. No monthly limits or quotas. You can upload 1GB per upload. Pictures and videos are stored in their original formats and are kept unmodified for backup. I also like that you can geo-tag your stuff so it shows up on a map. And you can search for stuff on the map – that’s cool! Even Google Street View is now implemented – eat that Youtube, Vimeo etc!!! As the only site I know of it uses a Windows Explorer like navigation with folders – super easy to use – even has drag and drop! It’s free, fast, nice design as SO much better than the other video sites. Still missing a few features – but I am sure they will be added later.
