I Heart Flickr

[amol]

Last week, I was one of the "lucky" people who tried to log onto Flickr while it was down. Only about 30 minute span.

Anyway, they had a contest to fill in a picture and see who would get a free Pro account. Just got this email:

We're absolutely stunned at the number of submissions to our
impromptu colouring contest last week:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/flickrcolourcontest

With 1,100+ entries to date, we've decided to spread the
love a little further than a single winner. (How could we
select only one?)

Because you rock, we're gifting you three months of Flickr
pro as a thank you for your outstanding creativity during
last week's downtime.

The Flickreenos

2GB Upload/month! YAY!

Then once your three month trial runs out, you'll register for pro and give them your money because you're so dependant on it.

Congrats.

Funny thing is, I was logging onto to the site that day to see how much a pro account would be. I was going to buy one

why is it better? i like the black background, but i have to say flickr seems more refined and usable.

I love my flickr pro account (in sig)

I like the community feel of flickr. I also like my Smugmug Pro for my work.

Flickr's great. I'm still tyring to get some of my family/friends who use things like Snapfish to switchover. Most of my co-workers are heavy users of it. I quickly ponied up for the pro account once I realized how nice it was.

The new(?) utility where you can tag photos to points on a map (although I would only use that for travel/vacation photos) is really nice.

I also wonder how long it'll be before/if they'll allow just a bit of skinning ability. Nothing obnoxious or dramatic (as it would look like crappy MySpace pages) but maybe a few main color palattes (white, black, grey.)
