At the SeoMOZ AWARD SITE, the category I chose was PHOTOS AND DIGITAL IMAGES. I have boxes of family photos that I have never organized and put into albums. After my mother-in-law died we also became the depository for VERY old photos and daguerreotypes from my husband's side of the family.
Looking at Flickr and some of the other online storage sites convinced me that I need to store these photos some place where they will be preserved in case of a fire, tornado, etc. Also it would be wonderful to be able to allow other family members and genealogists access to these photos.
The top three in the PHOTOS AND DIGITAL IMAGES category was Flickr, Picnik and Picasa. Flickr has a huge collection of images, however, as far as organizing my photos it looked like there were only two choices--sets & collections.
Picnik looks like it is number one for editing pictures but is not a place to store or share them.
The site I was most impressed with is Picasa because it allows you to store your photos in "beautiful web albums" with collage, slideshows, photo text, maps and geo-tags. It also lets you share them with others and print them.
I couldn't tell for sure, but suspect that Flickr can do all these things, as well. However, Flickr didn't "speak my language". I feel more comfortable with the way Picasa describes itself. It is also rated a little higher than the other two in "usability" which is important to someone like me just starting out.
