Flickr or Photobucket ?

[Carlh]

I was going towards the Flickr side of things, but photobucket now has unlimited storage for photos and a 10gb bandwidth limit.

Ive already got several hundred pics on photobucket, but I want to store the images in as high quality as possible, photobucket seems to resize the pics a tad too small for my liking.

Which one should I use?

I use both, flickr for what I consider to be my best images and photobucket for simple storage of so-so or unimportant ... this is aside from my own photo website.
I find flickr degrades my images less than photobucket.

Flickr for photography.

Leave Photobucket for the meme/de-motivational pics.

Flickr seems to have improved in the last few months as the default display size is now 1024p on long edge. Previously it was way too small to be taken seriously.

The answer is really down to you Carl. Swings and roundabouts I suppose :shrug:

cheers, i'll stick with PB for now since there arent any limits. If i end up going pro for more bandwidth, i'll take another look at Flickr and see if theres an advantage going pro with them instead.

Thanks all

i might have to check that out dave, ive got google+ account. is image sharing easy enough? i.e. just a directurl link ? cheers dave

Super easy, right click - copy image URL and paste

Costs nothing so worth giving it a go. I've never used photobucket so cannot comment, Flickr (my personal opinion) is dead so I wont renew after this year

thanks!

I'm interested to know why you think this. I have no real view either way - I've just started using Flickr, but just keen to know what makes you say this.

Google + is sloooooooooooooooooooooooow.

I'd also be interested in knowing why if you don't mind! Started using Flickr almost a year ago and my brother just got me a pro account recently, so I don't have much frame of reference. Has there been a decline in standards (hope I didn't contribute to that!), the community side of things, or something else?
