"Photo sharing \u2013 one of the biggest and most successful areas of Web 2.0, and likely to be a hotly contested area of the Open Web Awards.  Flickr recently passed the 2 billion upload mark, while earlier in the year we saw Photobucket acquired by Fox Interactive for more than $300 million and international standout Fotolog cash in to the tune of $90 million.  Meanwhile, upstarts like Zooomr and Picnik have their share of rabid enthusiasts.  All the while, it could also be argued that Facebook is actually the largest photo sharing application on the Web.  \nTo nominate a photo sharing service, leave a comment with the word \u201CNOMINATE\u201D in it.  Nominations will remain open until 11:59pm PST on December 4th (next Tuesday).  At that point, we will tally up the nominations and enter the second stage of the competition \u2013 voting.  \nOnce again, a thank you to our sponsors:\nReddit.com - Reddit.com is a social news aggregation website where readers, not editors, determine the top stories.\nWIRED - WIRED is the first word on technology, exploring how ideas fueled by innovation change the world.\nCohn and Wolfe - Our PR partner and co-producer.\nQuintura - Quintura makes you control your web search.
