When I decided to move to Flickr for photo management it was the only website I was aware of. Time has moved and and I’m wondering if Flickr is still the best. I have need of an online site again for a special project.

Without spending hours on this, it seems that Webshots is bigger by far with millions of users. Flickr gets more modern press and is the #1 latest photo sharing site. Zoomr is #2. Picasa is a Google product centered mostly around program that you install.

For now, it seems that Flickr has the lead in easy of use and widgets. A strong note about Flickr is their absolute refusal to move your data to direct competitors such as Zoomr. In my mind this is a major strike against them. It means you should maintain your own copy and do not use any features like tagging that will be lost when you leave Flickr.
