But they don't have the same tagging folksonomy phenomenon that flickr has, nor a core photo area. A marriage of the Commons fo The Library of Congress with The Internet Archive using it as a jumping off point for a photo collection area would be ideal, IMHO.

Are you aware of other sites, services or platforms--alternatives to Flickr--that you would feel more comfortable with? Sam David,
