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?

there is something about those noisy kids in fotolog that keeps the place lively !

Absolutely. Somebody made a comment earlier about fotolog being like a Virgin Megastore in the Mid West - but in a way that's a romantic image to me, not a negative one. The Sound of the Suburbs etc. etc.

I hope that flickr becomes more and more like fotolog. More anarchic and noisy, but with all the technical advantages that it currently has over fotolog. I also hope that they make the pages more customizable (which has been discussed in the forums - the management have said they have some plans in that area).

I think the other site you're thinking of is http://www.photoblog.be/ (there are so many of them: fotothing, fotoamigo, fotola etc.).
