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?

fotolog is photoblogging for the masses and flickr has a much more clean, artsy feel to it. there is tons of trash of fotolog, definitely, and the server crashes are all too often, but there's a clunkiness and slowness i like about it - flickr is irritatingly clean for me. actually, fotolog went through a bad time about two months ago, and there was a huge divide between fotologgers on whether to stay on board or jump over to newer services like flickr and fotola. a good many stayed, but now have accounts in both places. also, i find that fotolog is more of an open community than flickr is. i love the friends/favourites feature that constantly updates alongside my photos, and i miss that on flickr. i'd say go fotolog, but i'm old school. and according to my own fotolog/flickr division, i seem to be with the masses!
