That's why it's not really a surprise that photo sharing sites were some of the first social sites to appear on the Internet(). Today, the photo sharing category of sites and apps is largely dominated by the two big players, Facebook() and Flickr(). Both services are a great way to share photographs and video with family members, friends, online acquaintances and even the random Internet visitor. However, the world of photo sharing sites and tools goes far beyond just these services."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1291408841.usr11334.jpg" style="border: #d2d2bb 1px solid;" /></p><p>These four alternative photo sharing sites suggested by Mashable are all new to me. I've been using Picasa for a while for sharing pictures with my family and friends and hadn't really considered any other products. However, I think I will check these out and compare to Picasa to see if I am missing out on any features or functionality that would benefit me more, or even one thats a little more simple to browse as I know my elderly mother does struggle with Picasa.</p>
