REVIEW: 3 photo storage websites

PHOTOBUCKET:

- In my opinion, photobucket isn't the best site to store photos. I've used it a couple of times but the site offers general options found on most photo storing sites. Although, photobucket does have an advantage of including a free editing program for users, but still has a catch of allowing only premium users to use some of their more unique features. The privacy for the website isn't that great. You can set an album or picture on private, but if the URL is known a users pictures can be downloaded without consent from the owner.

SHUTTERFLY:

 - Shutterfly is similarly close to photobucket, but to me I believe it's more organized and easy to navigate. The theme, although, is very simple and isn't the most updated as some other sites. Some advantages of using Shutterfly are the access of printing and ordering certain photos and creating your own invitations, momentos, and other family friendly memories. Shutterfly's privacy is better compared to photobucket, as with Shutterfly you can only share pictures by manually sending the link to an album yourself.

FLICKR:

- Flickr is similar to photobucket in the way that anybody can search for other users pictures. Some users photos can be set to private or public allowing anyone to view them in their search results. Personally, I have never used Flickr and I am not willing to try it. Something I just learned about Flickr is the option to create your own account and stay in contact with other users. The feature is purposely for the use of getting to know the owners inspiration and learn from their how to's.
