Flickr and ShutterflyThese sites have been around for years. Each allows you to upload your photos and create photo books and more. We were reminded that if you have an Amazon Prime account you can order prints online for 9 cents each and have them delivered anywhere in the US for free.

Flickr is almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world. Show off your favorite photos and videos to the world, securely and privately show content to your friends and family, or blog the photos and videos you take with a camera phone.

Geek Uninstaller
One user writes "The performance of Geek Uninstaller is impressive. It uninstalls quickly and finds leftover files that anyone couldn't. Overall, the app is an impressive maintenance tool that delivers on both performance and features. Highly recommended". Another good one is Revo which can be found on Ninite.
