UC Flickr Group
To add some visuals, we've created an Urban Cartography group on Flickr - that is, a photo pool and discussion center at the (free) photo organizing site Flickr, which I recommend very highly. Flickr was recently bought by Yahoo and I think that once they offer sales/shipping of prints, they will close out companies like Shutterfly and Ophoto in about five seconds. The pro accounts are tremendously helpful - I have one, and it allows near-unlimited uploads, storage, and all sorts of tagging and organization tools. It's also a great companion to weblog publishing, as it allows you to send images directly to your site from your Flickr account (and you can send images directly to Flickr from a cameraphone, email or via a variety of other techniques). I guess it's pretty obvious that I think this is the best thing since sliced bread, at least for digital photographers. Anyway - get on there and join our group!
I second that emotion.

This is a great idea!
Oh God I wish I had more time to write stuff for UC. (Exams and Practicum are all coming down the pipe and there's no end in sight, ugh)
Anyway, I'll sift through my comp to see if there's anything that might be worhtwhile for this "photo pool."
