Image Website => Picasa or Flickr? - image

I have just a simple question ! Basically, I want to make a website with lots of images (users contributions). I already have the host, but it's limited in disk space (10 Gigas). I know it represents a huge amount of image, but I prefer planning this, and host them elsewhere before the disk is full. I was thinking of Flickr and Google Picasa, but I can't decide which to use.
Can anyone help me ?
If you need more informations about my project, comment this post, and I'll edit it to answer you.
Thanks.
Regards rom France ;)
EDIT : Thanks to #premiso, I'm going towards Flickr I think. Anyone can give me a feedback on Premium Accounts ? Nevermind, I'm putting to solved :p

They both have their limitations:
Flickr's Limitations
Picasa Album Limits
Picasa / Google Storage
I am not sure how this ranks today but here is a post about the two side by side: Picasa VS Flickr
Hopefully there is some good material there for your to choose which one. Good luck buddy!

Reasons why reviews might not appear for certain users on Play Store

For some users in the US, my play store reviews are not visible. I've reached out to Google directly and am out of options for support, so I've come here.
Here's the official response from Google:
Please note, since it's based on Google play algorithms, we are not
able to modify in the rating&review section's result manually. Also
please understand that, since we don't have any information about
algorithms, we are not able to further investigate and provide any
information about your question at this time. I apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause.
If you have any other Console related question, please let us know.
We'll be happy to help.
Thanks for supporting Goolge Play.
Very sadly they've given me a generic response about some "algorithm" and are refusing to look into the issue further.
Again, I know this isn't a "standard" question, but I'm not sure where else to go at this point. I feel like I'm at the end of my wits. Any help is appreciated!
What are some reasons why certain users in the US wouldn't be able to see any app reviews, but other users in the US can view these reviews? And is there any reasonable way to "debug" this issue?
Edit: at least one user reports that they are using a Samsung Galaxy phone
Sometimes it takes time for new reviews to show up on google. They also have an algo to check for reviews that might be from "fake users" similar to reddit it may take a while for it to show up entirely and pass their checks.
You have no control on what they show on their App Store reviews section.
One idea to debug is by checking via different android phones using different networks. You can also check the web version App Store link to see if it shows.

How to automatically download all new images appearing on a newsfeed on Facebook

I am attempting to write a script or make a FB App to automatically download images from profiles on Facebook at a designated time during the day, and have it repeat each day. After this is accomplished I aim to implement the reverse of this to upload images within an album to a profile, but that will be for another day. These are going to be profiles that I am friends with, or public profiles.
Having some issues determining where to start as it seems this isn't done on a regular. Can anyone provide a direction for me to head in? I have looked into the Facebook Developers website, as well as on stack overflow and haven't seem to find any solution that is close. I have stumbled upon examples on how to autodownload from Reddit, but Facebook is another beast entirely it seems.
Is this something that can be accomplished via Java or Python, or should I actually go through the Facebook API? At a bit of a loss as to how to proceed.
ANY help would be appreciated as I am not a web developer. I mostly dabble with MATLAB and Java so this is a bit outside of my expertise.
Once again to summarize, I am seeking to auto download images from Facebook profiles either as they are posted or at selected times. Also this idea could be changed to download from Instagram if that is somehow easier.

How to get TripAdvisor photos, as Apple Maps does

Does anyone know if it is possible to access TripAdvisor photos in the same way that Apple Maps does:
I've looked at the TripAdvisor api docs but photo queries don't seem to be a feature. If that is true then how does Apple Maps do it?
I am currently using the Google Places API, but having quite a few issues with it, including image quality (not referring to resolution here, just the types of photo and professionalism)
Thanks
Look closer at the /map-attractions one, it seems to have a call in it that includes photos.
EDIT: Also, see this post about alternatives if that doesn't work out.

What is the best way to handle blog post images for mobile web?

I am creating a mobile version of a rather large and photo heavy site. I am concerned about load time for some of the blog posts which have quite a few images.
What is the best approach for dealing with blog post images for a mobile website? In many cases, the images are needed for reference within the post and creating new smaller versions of the images are out of the question.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Have a look at Matt Wilcox's adaptive images - http://adaptive-images.com/ - it's not perfect though
These articles are also worth a read - http://www.cloudfour.com/responsive-imgs/ and http://www.cloudfour.com/responsive-imgs-part-2/

Accessible, mobile-friendly lightbox?

Is there any lightbox solution (along the lines of Fancybox, etc.) that is both accessible (VoiceOver & JAWS, etc., compatible, with perhaps WAI-ARIA roles) and mobile-friendly?
Bonus points for being a jQuery plugin.
It might be too late for you but I'll answer for people who may land here from Google search: recently I used NETEYE Touch-Gallery and it worked pretty well, at least on iPhone and Android.
I am making the same research at the moment to integrate into our project! I have looked at a lot of them and so far my favorite in terms of quality is:

I know the question is very old but I am only answering for future references as other conversation was closed as duplicate.
