Flickr and Picasa (Week 3)

As far as image hosting goes, there are many different sites which all pretty much accomplish the same result. I had opened a Picasa account about a year ago and have figured out how to do basic uploads and link my web page back to the picture folder. I surfed Flickr for nearly an hour. You say ImAgE hOsTiNg... I say iMaGe HoStInG. It is all the same thing to a 38 year old male. Give me basic and don't change anything.

I guess I am showing my age when I say, "why do I need Flickr when I already know and understand Picasa". I am totally content with Picasa. I don't want to spend the time to learn Flickr. Not to mention remember a new e-mail address and password. Picasa is directly linked to my Google account along with this blog. It goes back to simple. Google has neatly wrapped everything together and offers everything linked to one user name and password. I doesn't get much easier than that.

I did make a "Trading Card" from Flickr.... I have 2 versions. Pick your favorite. I would have liked to have the entire photo on one card but I was limited in the application
