I've been using webshots for 7 years now and have a few thousand photos uploaded on my site. Several of my web design clients use flickr for their album hosting but personally my experience with it hasn't really made me want to switch over from webshots.

I would agree that the Flickr quality is quite good (much better than Picasa), it's very user friendly, and has a lot more volume of traffic flow. Webshots tends to have more longstanding professional use instead of albums full of teeny bopper slumber parties and has a more professional aesthetic appeal. I suppose it all depends on why you're using online albums in the first place. Also check out what is offered at the free level vs. the premium on both sites (I believe webshots is $5 cheaper).

Note to "Wise Start-up Blog": Yes, facebook does have a lot of photos. But take a look at the quality...

It should be noted now that Facebook is one of the top destinations, if not the #1 destination for photos, and it definitely isn't considered a photo site.

I would support flicker, as it is commonly in use and has many plug in that can be integrated into other CMS as modules and or widgets. So, its always easy to move with a community popular services.
