It took me a while to warm up to flickr as well, but now that I’m fully entrenched I can’t live without giving them my $25/year for a pro account :) The real selling point was their integration with my WordPress blog.

During a recent 8.5 month backpacking adventure across India and SouthEast Asia, I tried to upload photos and write blog entries every week or two and with precious little Internet time and slow connections, the last thing I wanted to do was upload my pics to both flickr AND my blog. With these awesome plugins, as the OP linked to, I could just upload them to flickr and then a few clicks later have a single pic or the whole album show up in my blog. Only bummer, my app of choice doesn’t work with new wordpress versions! :O

Anyway, that’s all I have to say about that.

i am often tempted to move to flickr but am afraid of the frustration i will feel if i migrate over and don’t like it. thanks for your article though, it puts some things into perspective.

Well I’ve been using it before it’s acquired by Yahoo til today, been stuck with it.

One thing I like is the unlimited bandwidth which also applies to free account as well so don’t need to worry bout those annoying “Bandwidth Limit Exceeded” image like PhotoBucket does.

I do hope if they can sort own’s pics based on camera models, as some may took pics more than a single gadget.

Well everybody has their priorities.

As John says here http://human3rror.com/migrating-21k-pictures-and-videos-from-flickr-to-picasa/

My mom can use picasa!

I use both though. It is indeed a difficult choice to make.
