Photo sharing sites and Facebook

[Steve-B]

My wife and I are getting ready for our next family trip (not WDW unfortunately) and I will probably take some pictures with my phone in order to upload to Facebook. However, I don't want to post every picture I take. I'm thinking that I'll want to upload to a site like Picasa or Flickr first, then share on Facebook.
More to the point: Which service does everyone recommend I set up as my "quick upload" service or site on my phone? Keep in mind that I'll also upload pictures I take with my camera after I get home, and I'd like to use the same one for both. My photos generally fall into the "snapshot" category, since I usually don't have the time to set up anything "artistic." Of course, I want to go as cheap as I can and still get good service and storage. I don't really have a problem with paying more as I begin to use more features and/or storage, but starting out, I'd like to keep cost to a minimum.
I'd appreciate hearing your reason(s) for your choice.
Thanks!

I love Picasa. I am not sure how well it works with an iphone but if you are using and Andriod phone the integration with Picasa, Gmail, Google +, calender, etc is pretty nice. I have my phone set to automatically upload every picture to my Picasa album into a private folder so everything is already there when I go to work with it. Picasa also works seamlessly with images you download from your camera to your computer. You can set it up to automatically publish to your online albums or you can do a selection manually.

Oh yeah - I forgot to mention that I have an Android phone

I use both Picasa and Flickr. Picasa..being free..has an advantage.

HOWEVER...

I pay for flickr pro (its like 20 bucks a year) and that really ups the usefulness of the site. It has REALLY fast uploads (you can even export directly to it from lightroom if you use it), has a pretty active community (tho google is trying to push picasa into that range by merging it with google +), and flickr has been established for a while now. I have actually personally made a few dollars via flickr by people buying photos I took.

Both work with android (flickrs android app is a bit slow at times tho).

Picasa has their own (free) software you can use to tag, store, edit etc...

Flickr doesn't. What it DOES have is a very good html5 based image editor that runs in your browser (or phone if its fast enough) so you can do that all within the site itself.

PERSONALLY..as I said above, I use both. Why? Because it couldn't hurt to have a backup
