   Flickr totallyt has albums! You may not have noticed it because it’s labeled “Organize.” But if you look at my Flickr page you will see two photo albums I have made on the left. Another amazing feature is that it creates instant slideshows based on any collection you are viewing (eg: by tags, by someone else’s tags, by album). Also, I like that you can use a static link to these slideshows, for example here’s a slideshow of photos taken with my phone.

   Yeah but… the sucky thing about FLickr is that everyone’s “blog” looks the same. Basically it’s just like every other impersonal photo album site out there. *snooze*

   It does have some interesting features, but I chose Picto over Flickr.

   I was somewhat fooled by your mulitple upload line. you can upload multiple photos INTO flickr but that’s no big deal (many programs allow that). You CANNOT upload multiple photos from Flickr into one Blogger post. Blogger’s own Hello/Piccassa program already does all this and integrates just as well with Blogger, so I think Flickr is not worth using until it gets around this problem.

   For me, looking the same is only ‘sucky’ if its all about you (the individual). In real community flogs (not just storehouses for photos for the written blog) that sameness gives a feeling of continuity as you bounce around looking at people’s photos. Prior to Flickr i came from a flog community where color and links and backgrounds can be changed (Fotolog.net), and the community isn’t one of ‘an interesting quilt of diverse people,’ it comes off more like ‘chaos.’

   Looking at people’s photos with sane and similar surroundings gives the chance for the photos themselves to shine, instead of putting bad paintings in garish frames and calling it art. I hope that Flickr doesn’t go the route of “customize your page,” and turn a thoughtful community into one big colorful chat room.

   Sometimes it’s easy to confuse people with complicated cellphone ringtones for those that actually have personality.

   The main problem with flickr is that you can’t creat sub folders, or subsets. Check this forum: http://www.flickr.com/forums/ideas/2078/page6/
   There are many members with complaints about this issue

   I find Flickr is awesome*

   to scale to the numbers they have & with the relatively painless upgrade to the Gamma version is truly amazing!

   a Fine example for all Software companies & Web communities*

   i just read they handle a Billion image views a day*

   if i was recommending the Internet to anyone i would recommend Flickr first above ALL the rest!!

   Easy to Use & a pure Joy to experience & meet fantastic people from all over the World & see amazing Photographs*

   Cheers! Billy ;))
