Flickr
One of the greatest advantages of digital photo vs classical ones is the ability to easily share them with friends and family. This is why a lot of online services have appeared that offer the ability to upload and share online photo albums, one of the most well known such service is Flickr
Flickr Overview
Flickr's mission is to enable people to show their photos to friends and family and to let them show off the pictures for the whole world to see and enjoy.
Once uploaded the photos can by adjusted (the basic functions like: add notes, rotate, delete are available), viewed in different sizes (Flickr automatically generates different photo sizes like: thumbnail, medium and large), posted to just about any blog (LiveJournal, Blogger, Moveable Type, Typepad, Manila), and commented by people. Privacy settings can be set for each photo, the pictures can be private, viewable by friends and family, or public.
At Flickr organizing photos into albums is obsolete instead they propose a new system for organizing photos, sets. A set is different from a classical album in that: it allows a photo to be in more than one set at a time and it represents a form of categorical metadata rather than a physical hierarchy.
The photos can receive keywords, named by Flickr "tags", which can then be used for searches to easily find pictures on a certain topic such as place name. As with the other online photo album services your can order online from Flickr prints, photo books, calendars, greeting cards, gifts and so on.
Recommendations
It is unpractical to upload the original pictures taken with your digital camera because of the large file sizes which requires a lot of time to upload online. The original photos may be larger in size than 1MB due to very high resolutions (picture's width x height) and poor image compression.
In addition the original pictures have cryptic names given as default by digital cameras (like "Dsc3212.jpg") so they cannot be identified by name. In order to painlessly solve those problems you can use a purposely built software like BatchPhoto.
