Gather round youngsters while we tell you a tale. Once upon a time we all had to use these clunky old cameras that contained something called film. While it might sound like some sort of mucus membrane that you had to wipe off your fingers when you were done taking a picture, it was actually sort of like a flash card, but you had to drop it off at a nearby drug store and wait for a day or two before you could get your pictures back. That's when you'd find out that 23 or the 24 family portraits you'd made were actually portraits of your thumb covering the lens.

These days you can snap a quick picture with your cellphone computer, or even a camera if you so choose. But what good is a picture if you can't share it with the world? Sure, you could send an email to everyone you know letting them know how cute your dog looks in his new dress. But if you post that same image to Flickr, Picasa, or Photobucket, you'll reach an infinitely wider audience, thus shaming your puppy for life.

So we turn to you, our loyal readers, and ask, what is your favorite site for sharing your images?
