Everyone I've asked in my university (18-24 year olds) have never heard of it, infact, they believe google only does a search engine and email.

They don't know what RSS is. They don't understand what a "wiki" is (they think its a shorthand way of saying wikipedia). They have never heard of the term "Web 2.0" !

They have heard of the term "blog" but can't identify one when they see one.

I have still to find a random student who knows what flickr is. I'm chairman of the photography society, from our 50 members only about 6 knew what flickr was.

This was meant to be the IT generation. Its just many people using stuff they barely understand (they still call a browser "internet")

What kind of people have I asked? Engineers and Computing students.

We have a long long way to go.

"expect if you have an iPhone"

Expect?

"Considering there are plenty of other services out there that provide several gigs of backup space for free"

Who?

I read about this in the newspaper, I can confirm she does indeed have an unlimited SMS text plan for which I think she pays around $5 extra per month.

There's another tool...

Called juploadr,
its a cross platform uplodr windows,mac,linux and offers a few more options than the regular flickr uploadr. I think it allows you to upload to zooomr as well.

I believe there is a flickr plugin for iphoto available for the mac as well

The entire season of LOST already does fit in some cell phones

Actually you don't even need DD-WRT, it works with the default firmware, just set the airport expresses's MAC id's right and it will work.

It is a pity the free service doesnt have larger limits, ive been a pro user for a year and half now and absolutely love it, but then again photography is a becoming a big hobby for me, for other people who just want to put up some photos its not every attractive

Yes its free, but so are sites like facebook who allow unlimited photos uploaded

Photos added to panoramio get added on google earth, thats how i found out about it, just saw random photos popping up!
