OT (sort of) Flickr

I've noticed that more and more people are using Flickr for their pictures.
Is it free (or has a free version) like webshots does? How easy is it to
upload pictures and change your photos? What do you like/dislike? Anything
else you care to share with someone thinking of setting up an account?

Flickr is indeed a free service. It is owned by Yahoo! and they have
pretty much finished converting over from Yahoo! Photos. I prefer it,
actually. Between that and Photobucket, where can get code for my
MySpace, Xanga and Facebook sites, and scrapbookpictures.com, where I
store all of my really good photos so I can order prints later on.

Nobody with an old browser can see anything on it. You're only able
to share with the wealthier 50% or so of net users.

Photobucket is much better at the viewer's end - particularly if you
just want to tell people about a single picture, as you can give a URL
that goes straight to it. That will be noticeably faster and less
bother for anybody.

I've got pictures at both places and prefer Webshots. I started the
Flickr album because some rctq folks were having trouble using
Webshots, but few people actually go to look at my pictures there.

Flickr will only allow 200 photos free. Webshots, 3900.
Flickr only allows 3 albums free. Webshots, hundreds.
Flickr photo page layout leaves much to be desired, Webshots is
orderly and photos and/or albums are easily re-arranged.
Flickr has a monthly upload limit. Webshots doesn't.
Flickr evidently has no photo contests. Webshots does.
Flickr wants you to link photos to maps or join groups.
Flickr lists the popularity of your photos by an arbitrary
"interestingness" factor, Webshots by number of views.
I feel Flickr isn't as user friendly as Webshots.

My favorite is the free www.photobucket.com. Easy as pie to upload and
remove pics. I found Flickr very confusing.

I didn't know that. Glad I asked.

Haven't heard about that one. I'll have to check into it. Thanks.

Flickr was one of the choices that the were given to the people who were
using the yahoo photos website after they closed. I think it's free
subject to ordering a certain amount of prints or other merchandise.

This is kind of why I was thinking about switching.

Jack mentioned that one. I think I'll check them out. Anyone else have
good/bad things to say about photobucket?
