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?

I read a mention of Flickr and noticed some other Click Opera habitués were using it. I don't intend to use it as a dumping ground for party snaps or similar, rather somewhere I can put photos that might possibly be of use to someone else. It was the tagging, together with the interface, that persuaded me to use it over other places. I've not really started using yet, but hope to have some good photos from the US, particularly of various WS Burroughs associates and locales from Lawrence, Kansas, in the next few weeks.

Rubbish photos and images I stick on Photobucket.
