Very
simple to use and get started. Ample storage and a variety of products. Very
popular so others are familiar with its use. Able to create a webpage as a
showcase for albums. http://www.shutterfly.com/

Very simple to use and get
started. Somewhat limited storage because it’s based on making a purchase

Fotoki.com
seems more geared toward networking and photo sharing among communities
rather than the basic production of prints and other products. While it at
first seems like a different change of pace from traditional services, it has
no editing capabilities and post-hosting products are few. http://www.fotki.com/us/en/

A classic name and good reputation
for vivid prints. Storage size is now based on how much spent on products.
Clear and sensible. http://www.kodakgallery.com/Welcome.js
