| | update: It's done! http://flickr.com/photos/veensantmo
So I've been playing around with my flickr account, and I'm starting to really like it. I'm even thinking about abandoning my picture site at vincentmo.com (for the first time in 13 or 14 years!) to move to a pro account on flickr.
In the past, I've always built my own web sites for showing pictures, starting with a clipart and midi site that I built in middle school. As I got more serious into photography, I looked around and didn't find any photo sites that did everything I wanted:
- Easily uploads tons of pictures (15MB limit? you gotta be kidding me... upload 5 pictures at a time? just kill me now!)
- Organizes pictures into multi-level hierarchies
- Provides an interface that always shows some thumbnails so that you don't get "tunnel vision" as soon as you look at the larger version of a picture
- Looks nice
- Each picture can be in multiple folders (in other words, use tags, not folders)
So I built my own. =) Ok, vincentmo.com doesn't support tags, but I was going to build it... Any Day Now™. Along with viewer comments. And better map support to show where I took each photo. Oh, and there was that JavaScript bug I've been meaning to fix for about a year now.
Which brings us to the reason I'm thinking about switching. My spare time and I just can't keep up with the Horde working fulltime! So I will pay the Horde $25 a year to hold my GBs of pictures with easy uploads, multi-level hierarchies, a nice interface, and all the bells and whistles. Maybe. =)
Oh, and why not support my own company by using Picasa? That's another story for another day. =)
