Amazon s3 is something I plan on using this summer to bring price down. The responsiveness of the service isn't good enough for me to just throw all images into it, but just putting the full-size printable versions in s3 could be used to cut costs a lot.
How it's different from other services becomes obvious in the demo; sorry I broke it, but take a look now. You'll see that how the photos are organized and presented is different from all the other sites. I think it's much more suitable for people whose photos tell a story, e.g. kids growing up or people traveling.
I used to have much more text on the "about" page that explained differences, but I ruthlessly cut it down because people don't read.
I used to not have a pricing link on the front page, but everybody asked how much it cost. Generally people new to photo sharing exclaim how cheap it is. And it is cheap. I charge by usage, not by limit, so it can be very cheap if you're not using a lot of space.
I'm very focused on simplicity. Existing photo sites are focused on the photo enthusiast, who will be spending a lot of time on each individual photo anyway. People with little time but lots of photos will benefit most from ourdoings.com.
