I really cant think of any complaints I have with flickr... it's my favorite web application only second to gmail. Why would I switch to your service? To look at your arguments: I find flickr extremely easy to use (even my parents enjoy it). I have never found it to be slow... in fact I am suprised how fast uploading can be at times. I dont see any ads on my flickr page...? Offensive material? hmm I guess its there, but I dont look for it so why is that important? - But I do love the ease of things like uploading from desktop apps (fspot). Easy to title, organize, and add descriptions. Easy to order prints... I think you do have some benefits, but your description is not convincing me. Is it like flickr without the social networking part?

FYI Flickr has started using ads sporadically.. Did you also know that according to their terms of service, you give them "world-wide, royalty free and non-exclusive license(s)" to whatever you upload on their servers... I think the whole "social networking" part is nice but it's turn into a mess where you're constantly fending of spam and lame comments from complete idiots... I'm workiong on tags, searching, favorites etc. not sure about comments... Also working on blackberry/iphone uploading etc. I'm more interested in things people want, not just flash ! thanks

  Then what makes your service better than Picasa? Because that's the flip side of the Flickr coin: no emphasis on the social, heavy emphasis on controlling your images and sorting them well. And it's a beast. Flickr's nicer and more used, but Picasa may be better in a lot of ways.
