Fotolog and Flickr

[imomus]

I now have an account with Fotolog and an account with Flickr. Basically, they do the same thing: host and display my digital photographs. Does anyone have experience of both these systems? Which do you prefer? What are the pros and cons of each?



At first sight, Flickr has the cleaner interface, although I like Fotolog's world map. I get the feeling that I'll reach my bandwidth limit on Flickr pretty quickly too. And I'm curious about the social networking aspects of both systems. What are your experiences? Are there other photoblog publishing systems you recommend?

the ability to put notes on your own and other people's photos, as well as comments, is very neat indeed and makes it feel a) sometimes like showing people a photo album in person, and b) like a true networking experience -- building up a post by comments and the direct writing on a photo that LJ doesn't quite have an equivalent for.

I would like it better if there was a Flickr option to get your comments emailed to you, like LJ, because I don't look at it every day.

I must say the slideshow feature on Flickr is pretty cool. Here's a slideshow of my friend Toog's recent photos (http://www.flickr.com/photos/56853614@N00/show/) (actually mostly illustrations for his blog (http://toog.blogspot.com/)).

there are other neat Flickr-based tools too

This guy has done a lot of fun stuff -- a colour wheel using Flickr pictures, for instance.

You can use an RSS feed to see your comments if you don't visit flickr everyday. I use the email client Thunderbird to subscribe to flickr RSS feeds.
