Based on the recent developments in Picasa and some sneak preview, which service is better you think ?
Picasa or Flickr ? |
Both.
Picasa – for the desktop Flickr – for the web
You can use them together. Here's an interesting idea: http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1299/gmail-picasa-and-flickr |
Picasa is better. You have a desktop app to upload pics n to work with it easily and sooner or later their will be greater integration with other g apps |
Flickr has a nice community, and it is fun to browse public albums. There are a lot of great features with Flickr.
I do my sharing and storage with Picasa Web Albums. I love the integration with Picasa Desktop, and the people I share with find the interface much cleaner and easier to use. Though I occasionally upload something to Flickr, Picasa just feels right to me.
I still want Picasa to add Passwords and searching by Tags. It might be useful to order prints from Web Albums for some viewers that are not comfortable downloading and printing or uploading photos to a print sight themselves. I would also like to see an option to sync between your desktop and Web Album
It might be nice to open pictures up to the public in Picasa, but then you might as well use Flickr. Tony |
I'll restrict my comment to Picasa Web Albums.
I like the full-size approach by Picasa. Flickr images are too slow & small in default view. But the real value of Flickr is its community and the pictures that have been uploaded and tagged so far, including the ones with Creative Commons licenses. The value of Picasa Web Albums for searching photos is 0 right now. |
