I just have photobucket. I don't like signing up for new things.

Looking for feedback, thanks!
How else do they expect to pay for the free service? Advertising!

I have flickr and it's fine for how I use it. I'm a yahoo user as it is, so they know everything there is to know about me.

That's a scary thought... :twisted:

I have used both and I prefer Flickr. One aspect I prefer is that Flickr gives you multiple codes for various sizes of a single photo (square, thumbnail, small, medium, large, and original) without having to resize it. If memory serves, Photobucket makes you resize the photo to get a different code. If you post or share photos a lot, this is helpful. I also just like the look and feel of Flickr.

Is it just me, or am I full of geeky answers this week? I am such a dweeb.

I think you are imagining this....just a guess.

I use photobucket free...it is good enough for me (for free).

I was going to use Flickr at one point but they wanted too much info and signing up, etc...I said "forget it" photobucket was easy...getting lazy, I guess...

I have both Flikr and Photobucket accounts as well as Picassa from Google. I like Picasa the best, but then again I'm a Google fan. They have good editing and sharing options, but the best feature is facial recognition. I have a couple thousand photos there and it was nice to tag 400 photos of my cat all at once. I can then search for "Spaz" and see them all....oh, it works good for people too!

There is a web interface like Flickr etc...but there is also a program you can install that lets you do some editing etc...
