I'm a weekend photographer and I recently became a paying Flickr user. For my simple use-case of uploading files and sending off the URL to a couple of friends per email Flickr is the perfect service.
- lurker19 15y agoWhy not use free PicasaWeb for this? $5 gets you bbasically unlimited storage. The only answer I can say myself is that PicasaWeb uses the ugliest possible lossy compression settings on all photos it displays.
- Maro 15y agoPicasa is all integrated with the other Google services (which I'm a heavy user of), but in the case of Picasa it results in a messy UX for me. Eg. I just went to picasaweb.google.com to check out whether it's $5/mo or $5/year, and what is shows me is a bunch of pictures from my G+ stream, but the whole UX is confusing. It doesn't even have a front page (like flickr.com). Where do I find pricing? It seems to me that Flickr is better at the whole "do one thing and do it well" paradigm and it results in a much smoother UX compared to the integrated G+ mess. EDIT: There's a tiny "Upgrade your storage" link at the bottom, pricing is $5/yr for 20GB.
