Catchup / What photo sharing?

Well, it seems I haven't posted a blog update in four months. Then again, probably not too many people saw that blogpost, or any of my blogposts, so what does it matter. But I feel myself wanting to share more than I already do through twitter, facebook, and what the really cool kids glean off of my friendfeed page. Mostly I like to write about what I'm doing. If you look back at my "journals" from high school and before, they are mostly consumed with what type of writing utensil I am deploying. So this is no different. Here is the question: What photo sharing software should I use on a regular basis. Till now I have used a customer ithompson.com domain, my .mac web page (wow...photos back to 2005) which is now iphoto galleries), flikr, picasa (oh how I wish you worked better), and begrudgingly posted a few shots on facebook. It seems like the photog type folks use flikr, and I am tempted to go with that option. But I love the ease of just editing within iphoto and drag and dropping some photos into a gallery to have them pop up on the web. As I indicated above, I do love how picasa integrates itself onto my desktop, and finds photos, etc., but it caused my internet to lock up every frikken time. And if I'm going to be forced to export photos to upload 'em, I'll just go with flikr. So, any suggestions are helpful. In the meantime, I'll keep posting wherever I'm going to post, and letting folks know in a haphazard way. First up, my last trip to China.
