You may want to pronounce its name carefully, but Fotki has nothing to be ashamed of among photo-sharing sites. Fotki doesn't aim to be your complete photo solution; there are no editing tools like those you find in Picasa, or even the online Picnik photo editor offered by Flickr. But it offers a lot by way of photo sharing and social networking—rich personal profiles, journals, friends, guestbooks, even forums. It also offers decent albums, with features including regular tagging and geotagging. But unlike Picasa it offers no people tagging, a social tool that would make sense. It does offer a couple of attractions I haven't seen on other photo-sharing sites: contests and the potential to make money from your photography. You also get free stats on which members have browsed your pictures. But Fotki has a competitive disadvantage if it wants to become the photo social network: The largest photo-sharing site by far is also the largest social network—Facebook.
