Not a whole lot new about this, Flickr is probably the household name of the web site most people use for this functionality.
Still, [...]

UPDATE: Microsoft has sent a cease and desist letter to VistaTorrent. I take back my comment about Microsoft, “To their credit, to this point they have not asked that the site be taken down.”
