customization - Managing Images for a WordPress Blog: Picasa or Flickr? in WordPress

Both @George Wiscombe and @anu have good suggestions. To elaborate though, I'd say it depends on one of the following criteria:

1. Do you plan to write programs using one of their API? If yes, review their APIs and pick the one you are most confortable with. Here are their APIs:

   • Flickr's App Garden API
   • Picasa Web Albums Data API
     
     

2. Is Free important to you? - If free is important to you and you will be uploading more than 100Mb of images per month butt maintaining more than 1GB at any one time them go with Picasa.

3. If you Free ist critical but As Cheap As Possible is important Google sells 5Gb additional for US$5/year, each 5Gb . Flickr doesn limit storage but instead limits uploading bandwidth, and is $25/year for unlimited uploading.

4. I'm pretty sure there are More 3rd Party Tools for Managing Photos for Flickr than for Picasa, so if you think 3rd party tools are a killer feature, go with Flickr.

5. Ifne of those other issues are important and your are just going to grab the image URLs to link to them, just choose the one you like the most .

BTW, if I were choosing I'd choose Flickr. I also wrote this to show up a few weeks ago to show someone How To Automate a Daily Picture Blog using Flickr . You might find it to be helpful too:
