I think the current Flickr (May 09) is a mess—at least in terms of slideshows. The simple act of arranging your photos in a specific order is an ordeal, which even Flickr Support admitted in a reply to me was “sucky.” And I hated the way the slideshow operated: no manual advancing of slides, descriptions up in a corner (with unneeded info always displayed),etc. And if I wanted to use the home page as my slideshow, only the first screen would display them at a decent size. So I looked into Picasa and found it to be highly superior to Flickr in these particular areas. Flickr’s got the name-brand that automatically attracts new users. To all of them I say, check out Picasa too!

Flickr sucks…I reached my limit and so there was a bunch of photos that was put on “storage” aacdg to them and the only way I’ll be able to view them is when I deleted the most recent ones… But that was not the case…I deleted my recently posted photos…and was still not able to view the old ones… I was told to wait for a week for the photos to re-upload but that passed and nothing happened…So, I emailed them again and was told…all my photos are gone and the problem was blamed on me- for they said I deleted all of ‘em!!! I mean, seriously?! How can I possibly delete photos that I cannot even view and thus, unable to select to be deleted!!! And why would I delete photos that I am trying to retrieve?!?!

Are you crazy? There is *no* limit of Flickr’s paid photos, only the free version, which limits you to 200. You can share as many photos as you’d like, you can create as many “sets” and “collections” as you’d like once paid, even the free version lets you do three. You do NOT need Flickr software for anything – even editing photos, and you absolutely can share a URL via email. Your payment for Flickr, like Google and most other services, is non-refundable.

Snapfish SUCKS and requires users to register just to see your photos, and I used Shutterfly for prints once and the quality sucked. I think you’re nuts or attempting to troll us.

Flickr limits the number of photos you can share, though allowed to create albums and collections of albums, you can only share One album. You cannot copy the URL addresses and put them into an e-mail. You must use their programs to send your pictures. If you pay for the expanded service, be warned it is a NON-REFUNDABLE commitment. All you get is additional storage space when you pay more and you still can’t share more than the 200 pictures or one album. Their on-line help is not helpful or friendly. Picasa has much more free memory and allows you to copy the URL addresses into an e-mail so you can share as many albums as you want. Picasa does not have all the fancy printing options, like photobooks, but you can do that with another program, like my publisher or snapfish, or shutterfly.

Unfortunately Yahoo is killing off Yahoo Photos in favour of Flickr and are not accepting any more members. If Yahoo Photos was such a great site, what’s the logic in such a decision???

Picasa does not allow for enough privacy of your photos. All that one needs is your url to see your album - 'unlisted' or not. What if you send an 'unlisted' URL to your friend who then forwards it to someone else who you didn't want to be able to see the album ?

That way, flickr has given an additional level of privacy - one where you can restrict viewership to those flickr ids that YOU choose. They have to log in and see it. In addition to that, flick has the 'unlisted' and public options that picasa offers.

Would picasa add that level of privacy in the future ?

I use our KoffeePhoto photo sharing service. It consists of a Picasa like desktop software taking care of the upload tasks and a free online space for sharing pictures.

Yeah Right. Yahoo photos kicked us in our back all right. I am jumping out from the yahoo bandwagon to picasa. It is easy to use. I cannot trust flickr since it is run by yahoo and they will spam my email .

I hated and left Yahoo Photos when they decided to forbid me from downloading my own pictures in their original resolutions.

However, thanks to Flickr and possibly PicasaWeb, and of course competition from Google in general, the guys at Yahoo! have woke up... and now, not only do they return the photos to us, they have renovated Yahoo! Photos altogether and give us unlimited space.

On top of that, the new interface just feels real cool, with the dancing hamsters, pretty intelligent Tray and other visually appealing AJAX features.

Well done, Yahoo! You have won back one Yahoo! Photos user, after many years, although I hope you can be trusted for good this time.

I never thought that anything from Yahoo! could be better than Google, but I guess Yahoo! Photos is the tip of the iceberg?

Finally if it is a question of storing/sharing unlimited number of photos should we use Yahoo photos ?. Doest Yahoo photos alter/compress the original resolution of photos ?.
Any free service available which can do this for me ?

I had a lot of trouble uploading big batches of pics to flickr. I am a pro user and still have the acct, but I use picasa because of the one click feature you speak of. as someone who ocassionally gets drunk and takes 177 pics in a night, flickr is just too difficult to negotiate with a hangover…. and I don’t have the patience for the individual uplaod of everything in flik’r. But I think this review was spot on.
