Flickr.com

Flickr is one of my favourite Web2.0 applications. Flickr allows you to upload and share your photos. It has several privacy settings that allow you to decide how much and to whom you share with.

Flickr is a great central place to store your photos - you can access them on any computer and many other Web2.0 applications work with Flickr allowing you to link your accounts together.

You can also easily grab a photo's URL from Flickr to easily embed them into many different applications such as Edublogs where you may have storage limitations.
