« Dealing with Images in Multiple Buckets on the Internet »

What do folks do with the plethora of online images that they have, that may be strewn about the internet? Am I the only loser who's got images with Flickr, with Picasa Web Albums and with Facebook?
I use the different buckets to help differentiate usergroup permission, and to deal with the fact that some folks aren't using some applications, and to also simply simplify some of the Picasa things that I do.
Some may say that it's ok to have multiple copies of the same photos on multiple image applications. Me, I think that's just adding digital litter to the internet. In a perfect world, there would be one bucket, and I could choose which apps to dole out images to. Images would reside in one place, and be *pulled* as needed into the various apps that would become a vehicle for delivery, as opposed to being a vehicle for storage.
What do *you* do with your images? Are you disciplined enough to have only one image application?

very much: printed at a lab
some: my own web page, images linked from anywhere
a little: free hosting (such as those you list)
One friend signed up with http://aminus3.com which gives an album look to the web page. Their concept seems to be having you post one photo at a time.
Hate digital litter, but don't have an answer for you.
I am an Apple head and use dotmac for many things including images. Flickr,Picassa and Facebook are all temptations I've managed to resist with absurd rationalization (I mean, I'm on facebook, but no pix there)
