One thing that Instagram got right is giving you a sense of pride about your photos. You name it, you can apply a filter to make it more "yours", and the emphasis is on the single photo rather than a group of photos. Sure, there's more pictures of cappuccino art than I'm interested in on Instagram, but it's still better than albums where people upload blurry photos. I've stuck with Flickr over the years though, and definitely agree that the community is still there. I've always liked how they report stats on my photos, and haven't found any other services that do that as nicely. I am worried about Flickr in the long term though, and am starting to think about other solutions for storing my photos.
