This is a terrific list. Thanks!
One site you might add for "Photo Printing/Book Creation" is Mpix. The quality and selection of the prints and products you get from Mpix far surpass any of the other consumer oriented sites out there (this is not surprising since they are a branch of Miller's Professional Imaging, the leading lab in the country for professional photographers).
The Mpix interface is not always as friendly as some other sites, but the result is worth it. However, stay tuned for some excellent interface and community changes from Mpix in the near future. They are doing some great things. Just thought I'd let you know.
(Disclaimer: I do some consulting for Mpix and their parent company, Miller's, inc.)

Multiply, a service with over 5,000,000 registered users, 9,000,000 monthly unique visitors, and 1,500,000 photos uploaded every day, is one of the largest photo sites on the web.
In addition to photo uploading, distribution, and blogging, Multiply offers photofinishing services including books, calendars, mugs etc through a partnership with Qoop.
I'm not a fan of Imaging Insider. They don't provide any original content, they just swipe other people's and slap Google Ads on it.
Their terms of service also claim ownership to everything they publish. Meaning the content they're taking?
I'm sorry, meaning *my* content they're taking?
I'm not impressed.

Excellent grouping as well.

I would like to suggest another entire category, "Post Processing Services." This would include links to some of the many online companies that employ experienced persons to do photo retouching...hiding wrinkles and scars, fixing color casts and shadows, eliminating unwanted background objects and persons, slimming, etc.
These are techniques that, in theory, anyone can learn. However, that takes time so it is often more sensible to hire a company to do it for you.
My company has retouchers who do very high-quality work, and we acknowledge that some of our competitors are as good as or even better than we are (if you can afford them).
I appreciate the list of resources and plan to check out some of them.
Not a bad list of resources, but the photography blog list is a bit skimpy... plus I'm a little hurt that you left me and my blogging buddies out of the list.
You should add Cellblock to the list of mobile apps. It's not exclusively mobile -- you can upload from the web or by email -- but its real utility I think comes from the ability to create custom email addresses to aggregate photos. Say you're at a wedding reception and everyone can send pics from their phones to bobandmary07 at cellblock.com, the pics (and videos) automatically show up in an online slideshow player. Pretty handy.

Great list really useful thanks!
Also can i recommend http://www.onlinephotographers.net for the photo sharing section, its just been launched but has already got some really good photographers and photos on there, definately worth a look.
I'm with Brian here, the photography blogs section is pretty skimpy. I can think of at least a half-dozen well written photography blogs that you haven't included there.
I'm a little hurt my photography blog got left out too :P
Also:
"Stuck In Customs - blog by one of the greatest DRM photographers on the net"
I think you mean HDR, not DRM.

For photoblogs, there is a better way to find great photoblogs (and while Chromasia and Stuck in Customs are good, they are by no means the definitive photoblogs): http://photoblogs.org or http://photos.vfxy.com/. They both list photoblogs and have created communities around those blogs.
You might also want to consider http://www.yorkphoto.com. They sell prints for $.10 a piece.--so far the cheapest price I've found. I'll also get newsletters every once in a while containing special promo codes. They had a deal a couple of weeks for $.03 a print!

Excellent listing of photo tools.
I found an off-line tool that you might be interested in. This freeware adds description, title and tags (including geotagging) before you upload to the online sites like Flickr or Zooomr and the tags are IPTC so their compatible with almost all photo applications.
Check out Blurb.com for creating picture books. Really nice free editing package to create the book and large format (13 x 11 inches) hardback book starts at $54.95.
I am going on an African safari in July and plan to produce a book after the trip.

Wow, this is a very comprehensive list. As a PR rep for Lexar, I think it might be worth adding another category - Informational Resources. I think there are a lot of sites with information about digital photography including tips, tutorials and lessons.
One site to add to the new category would be http:www.lexar.com/dp. It has a lot of great information about digital photography from some great names in the industry.

Firstly, fantastic resource.
While Royalty Free photography has its advantages (east to come by and cheap) using RF stock comes with the risk of duplication, repetition, overexposure, and brand confusion. Rights Managed stock provides more protection for both the photographer and the buyer, as well as higher quality images, and less risk of image duplication.

Here's a new one that's simple to use. <a href="http://pictureful.com" rel="nofollow">pictureful.com : Free online photo editor, decorate with overlays, remove red eye, simple zoom for crop, and resize.
The most appropriate category for Shozam is "Photo Sharing." The program is different from typical photo sharing sites because it generates galleries on user's computer and allows the user to upload to *any* Web host. Shozam can also be tagged as a mashup generator since it combines multimedia with Web services from Google Maps and PayPal.
Suggested description: Shozam - Generate galleries on your computer and upload to your Web site or any Web host. Features audio, video, slideshows, geotagging (via Google Maps) and ecommerce (via PayPal).

Also please add PicFindr.com to the photo search category. PicFindr searches several sites that offer free (as in no cost) photos that you can legally use for commercial projects. Search options let you choose those where attribution is required or not. Also, two new portals have just been released to find legal photos for educational and worship/church use at http://school.PicFindr.com and http://worship.PicFindr.com respectively.
Thanks

Also, you can add Dreamstime.com to the Stock photo section. Dreamstime competes with the likes of iStockPhoto and offers mainly low-cost stock photography, but also has a very high quality free (as in no-cost) section. For full disclosure, PicFindr is partnered with Dreamstime.
