I like Flickr because of the easy uploads, the storage capacity and the easy way to share your photos with others. Also, being able to mark photos or albums as private so that only you can see them, makes me feel more confident of uploading family photos to a public website.

Photos on Flickr can be viewed in a larger format than some other photo sites. You can actually see a screen size shot or slideshow instead of some of the smaller displays that other sites have. Also there is the option for others to download a photo if you give the permissions. That's a nice feature.

Picnik is an editing program that is on the Flickr site. It's easy to edit your photo's exposure, redeye, crop, etc. That's important to me as I am only a regular person taking family pictures and have absolutely no experience editing photos. But picnik makes it extremely easy for anyone to do some or a lot of editing and makes you look like a pro at it.

The public photos on Flickr are just as outstanding. Also the ability to join or make your own groups is a great feature too.
