i take loads of photos, of me & friends & stuff. It takes up loads of memory on my camera sooo i usually just store some on my laptop. But, my laptop is running out of memory, so ive started to store some photos online which have like albums on websites like Flickr, photobucket and facebook. Do u think its like safe to keep them just online? like i wont loose any of my photos? should i buy some memory sticks?
 
While you aren't likely to lose your pictures online from hardware failure, there are two things you might want to consider. First, privacy issues- do you really want all your pictures available for the world to see? That's up to you. Secondly, in the unlikely chance your facebook/twitter/photbucket gets hacked (and I bet you use the same password for all of them, don't you?), you're unlikely to recover any of them.
I would buy a nice big external hard drive to put your pictures on. Go to best buy or amazon and you can find external hard drives that will store tens or hundreds of thousands of pictures for only a hundred or two hundred dollars. Hard drive space is cheap nowadays! :)
