Goodbye Yahoo, Hello ???

Here's the deal, I recently found out that Yahoo Photos will be closing down this fall. As some of you might know, I pretty much have my entire photo library on Yahoo Photos. So what can I do? Luckily, Yahoo has offered suggestions to other photo sharing sites that I might like. They even offered to transfer all my photos to the site of my choice. So with all that, there's not much to do but to pick a site. So I went looking at the five sites that they suggested (Flickr, Photo Bucket, Shutter Fly, Snap Fish and Kodak Gallery) and another one that I already knew about (Webshots). So out of those six sites, I really only like two. The two being Flickr and Webshots. They're pretty much have all the basic things that Yahoo had. Some places a little more, and some a little less. Like Flickr kind of has some limits, that you can get rid of with a paid membership which costs $24.95 a year. The same goes with Webshots, but their membership costs $29.88 a year. Even thought I'll prolly be fine with the free membership, it might come in handy to pay. Also if I move my photos to Flickr, Yahoo will pay the membership fee for three months. So now I'm left with a decision, Flickr or Webshots. Click on the links and check them out. Let me know what you think, it could really help me decide. Thank you.
