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?

That's the good thing, by not knowing who the audience is (apart from 60-odd LJ people), I avoid the great threat to all bloggers (photo or otherwise), which is to be perverted or diverted by the audience's demands and desires.

You must be quite the pushover if you need to isolate yourself from the public in order to remain "true to oneself" (not that I for one second believe such a condition exists).

Yes, but you yourself are quite clearly indifferent to entertaining or instructing your audience.

For myself, I hope that people find something of interest in what I do, but I'm Reithian enough not to pander to their whims.

I, conversely, hope that people find something of interest in what they do, and I the same.
