Flickr vs Picasa Web



A little early this year, I decided that Multiply will be a repository of my photos - that is before I had my SLR. I never imagined that I will go into photography, and by taking pictures worth megabytes, it just is such a shame to be shrinking them down to what the site can handle.

There are a couple of other platforms that does let you keep detail online. I chose Flickr . I'm big on minimalism and I get that with Flickr. I also tried Picasa Web Albums , which is from Google. It you to store up to 1 Gigabyte of space for the whole lifetime of your account. Well, well, well, Flickr goes beyond that - I can upload pictures of up to 100 Megabyte every month. By that single reason,  I am choosing Flickr over Picasa Web Albums.

So there - you will not see any new photos in my Multiply account. And yes - no more gibberish on binog.net, everything goes to Multiply. Flickr will be my photoblog. Binog.net will now have photos that I can't help posting, with a little story on the side of it - literally on the side of it!

Photo on the side "10.16 - dawn before flight to PPS" from my Flickr with this caption - "Testing my gear before the trip! I guess they are right, if you are shooting the same scene, every shot is not going to look like the previous one. I think I will get there. Hahaha!"
