So I've been looking around at photo-hosting sites.  While I should be able (with application of tuits) to sort something out that doesn't entail using an external site, I'm lazy and my arms are playing up.  Equally, since I should be able to set up my own stuff for free once I have arm-time available, I don't wish to pay for hosting.  There appear to be approximately lots of sites, all with different limitations on their free accounts.  Would anyone care to offer comments on the relative goodness of the service they use?

In particular, while space and such are of interest, I'm keen to know about the user interface.  Since the sole point is to save me the arm-effort of actually setting something up myself, there's no point getting an account with a site where uploading images is even slightly non-trivial.  Ease of use is vital, or the photos won't make it online!

I used flickr for a good few months before biting and paying for it, mainly to avoid the upload cap (but I did then start making use of the other features). I find the network aspect useful, and it's substantially less annoying than many competitors with regards to actually letting you at the damned images - it can, in a pinch, serve as an online backup of the originals.

The web upload is a little finicky, but they offer a decent bit of software for Windows/Mac machines, and there's a good third-party Linux one which I use.

The upload cap (100mb/mo) is easily avoidable if you're willing to resize stuff to, say, 1024px locally before uploading it.
