For many years my wife and I shared our vacation photos with friends and family via Shutterfly, an easy-to-use service that provides free digital photos and inexpensive prints.
For our most recent vacation we uploaded the photos to Facebook for the first time--yet another sign of how Facebook is taking over our lives. Most of our friends are on Facebook by now, and we could still send the album to people who aren't. I'm a little sad about abandoning Shutterfly, but it just seemed to make sense by this point.
As to library usage of photo sharing sites: there are numerous possibilities. From a simple slide show of library images to a complex catalog of annotated radiology images, there are many ways librarians could use Flickr et. al to enhance appreciation of the visual aspects of health care.
