You certainly have done your share of homework. These are great spots to visit... Thanks so much!
I use another contest site. It makes you develop a thicker skin-- being rejected/eliminated...but it's the name of the game..Besides, it keeps my hand in the craft, and practice, practice, practice~
I spend a lot of time looking at designs, ads, etc. I find it fascinating that the hot colors of late are simulating the Olympic 2010 designs. Anyone else notice?
I have been submitting designs left and right on other design sites, and the fact that I have been on the short list a couple of times keeps me going, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to hang out here where it matters to the powers that be that we are good enough to "belong"... Have my fingers crossed...and will share this great site with my art group.
I thought it might be a good idea to have a single thread listing portfolio hosting sites. Perhaps we could list site fees, advantages, disadvantages, limitations, restrictions... etc.
I noticed several posts asking about online portfolios.
DesignContest.net launches designed.nu - a place where you can host your logo design portfolio.
Here are some more:
Free Online Creative Design Portfolios - Creative Binge free, 21 images
Coroflot - Design Jobs & Portfolios free portfolio and sharing of files
Fliich - showcase yourself appears to be free
Creative Hotlist: Job Searches, Portfolios and Recruiting for Graphic and Web Designers, Writers, Photographers and Illustrators ($35 for 6 months)
Behance Network :: Gallery (beta) By invite
Art Jobs | Design Portfolios | Design Careers | Creative Jobs - Creative Shake Basic portfolio, free, 5 images. Enhanced subscriptions for $10, $22, $49 per month.
-- EDIT -- Here is a compiled list of the suggested links in this thread:
Carbonmade : Your online portfolio. – 35 images, free
Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket – free, image size limitations
Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing – 100MB, Free. For $25 a year, Unlimited
DesignFirms Design Directory, Community and Business Development Marketplace – free, unlimited
Simple private real-time sharing and collaboration by drop.io - no account necessary, free
www.blogger.com – free but shouldn’t be used for commercial use.
deviantART: where ART meets application! – free, couldn’t find limitations
Black Turtle Media - Get Noticed! – free, couldn’t find limitations
There are a few others, but left out of this list because I was unsure that they were good options considering the features of all the above sites.

This is some excellent information! I have been trying to decide if I should go with a portfolio site or design my own. This gives me a lot to think about!

I've been working on Behance the past few months and I'm pretty happy with it. It is by invite only, but thats just to keep the riff raff out. Apply, I don't think its as hard as people think.
This is what I have up so far.

I just found this one: Simple private real-time sharing and collaboration by drop.io
Cool - no account is necessary. That's so unusual.
Drop.io enables you to create simple private sharing points called "drops."
The service has no email signup and no "accounts." Each drop is private, and only as accessible as you choose to deliberately make it. Create multiple drops, add any type of media, and share or subscribe as you want. To make a drop just click the big red button that says 'drop it' (more)
Looked at most of the links above, something new I havent seen before was on Drop.io
Seems you can have an interactive conference call with someone else, showing off your work, one way this can be usefull is if you are discussing work with a client over the phone,or having an over the phone interview, You can bring up on their computer each item as you discuss it. There is a video tutorial that will show you more. Cool stuff.
