The site with the stupid name.

Anyway, flickr has some really good features, such as easy sharing and unlimited uploads and bandwidth for only $25 a year. But it has some pretty big negatives, too. It doesn’t have a lot of customizability, for example, and the organizing features are just terrible. I spent an hour yesterday trying to tag photos that were supposed to have been uploaded into a folder and weren’t. And at the end of tagging dozens and dozens of photos, I had four photos that were correctly tagged.

Anyway, we’ll see how this goes. I have a fourteen day trial. All I know is there’s got to be something better out there than flickr. If it looks worth it, there are several tools for importing your flickr pictures. Obviously I’ll want to try them before paying!

Edit: here’s a pretty cool article about the family business.
