Everyone else, get on Flickr.


No, Flickr is a load of garbage. It’s way, way slower to load than just about any other image-hosting site I’ve ever used, it has crap size restrictions on the actual image presentations for no reason other than it wants to maintain a “site look”, which, frankly, is totally unnecessary for an image-hosting site, and it tempts users to add pointless fluff that tends to hinder rather than help examination of images.

People should try Maj, or Yesalbum, or Photobucket, or google for “image hosting” if they don’t like those, but for the love of all that is sane in this world DON’T use Flickr.

Yeah, so maybe our Flickr experiences are very different. I love the site. I’ve loved it since it first came out. The interface is clean, the commenting and annotation system is outstanding and etc etc etc. It has about a dozen good features that probably could have been implemented on Brickshelf years ago.

Don’t use Maj. It has the same antiquated file system and structure that Brickshelf had and unless Kevin gets on here and says otherwise, I anticipate it will disappear too. And Photobucket? You gotta be kiddin me.
