Checking it out.

For a while now, I’ve been conflicted about which photo site to use. I’ve stuck with KodakGallery for a long time and still feel like it’s the best fit for me. But I’m also trying Google’s photo gallery thing as well but the features are still quite limited. Also, after much resistance, I’m trying out Flickr. I can see the appeal but something about it still doesn’t work for me.

Pros:

  • Cool blogging feature (I’m writing this blog within the blog integration section of the Flickr site right now.)
  • If you join a group, you get a good amount of feedback on your photos from random people.
  • It’s a good way to share photos with random people and your friends.

Cons:

  • Not the best user interface
  • Feels too much like My Space or Friendster
  • Not integrated with Picasa
  • You have to pay money in order to have unlimited storage
  • UPDATE 12/6: Flickr is blocked at work so I can’t see the top photo in this post on my work computer. Boo…

There you have it…my two cents. Here’s my Flickr photostream. These are the only ones I have uploaded so far. They’re the only ones I am willing to make public to the Flickr world.
