Yet another FREE Google service that is awesome! Panoramio is a great web based service that provides the same service as Flickr's geo tagging, except Google takes it one step farther, you can then see those tagged photos right in Google Earth when you view that area!!! Pretty cool huh?!?!

Here's what the site looks like

Flickr Pro

We all know about Flickr, the website for organizing and sharing our photos. Most people don't actually have an account though. I got a free account a little over a year ago to host some photos, but recently I decided that I was going to use Flickr a lot more, so I upgraded to a pro account. Lets compare the differences: with a free account you get a 100MB a month upload limit, you are allowed 3 photo sets and your photos are cut off at the 1024x768 size, images under 5MB each only.

With the Flickr badge_pro.gif.v2 account you are given unlimited storage, unlimited photo sets, a permanent online archive for your photos, ad free browsing and sharing, account and photo statistics, and the photo quality has essentially no resolution limit.
