Flickr versus Snapfish… ugh.
I’m trying to get my vacation photos up and viewable, but it’s such a pain in the ass if I want to make them easy to share but also not have to spend money… or lots of time resizing, optimizing them and uploading them to my own site. It might be the best way, though.
SNAPFISH - you have to be registered to view the photos. I got around this by sending my username and password to my friends so they wouldn’t have to be annoyed by registering for yet another service. However, I can upload a seemingly unlimited amount of photos AND their editing and “captioning” features are very easy. I can batch caption through a very easy interface.
FLICKR - More popular, but unless I upgrade to their paid service, I can only upload 20 MB of photos per month. PER MONTH. I am at 85% of this month’s limit and have only posted up 80 of my 300+ photos. While I can create groups and have friends and family join for free, I can’t share all the photos, and it’s not as easy to edit, add descriptions and tag the photos. They have an interface to do “batch” edits as well, but it’s not easy or quick.
Sigh. I’m going to take a shower, run to the bank and then come back here to write more about my vacation since I’ve been up since 6 am and don’t know what else to do. I did some cleaning, made my bed, took my bamboo plant and removed it from its container… washed all the stones and sea-glass in which it’s mounted and rinsed the leaves with cool water. It should be happy now. It’s the only plant I haven’t killed - simply because it just needs to live in a puddle and I can handle that.
I’m a much better pet owner.
But now - shower.
