Why flickr?
I am not yet able to understand why people are going ga-ga over flickr. Why would I like to pay them the amount that they ask for a pro account when I can get a shared server space (much larger space) for much less money? Backups?
If you want free photo upload facility. Why not Yahoo photos which is free and provides unlimited upload and storage.
Basically they have provided an unusable interface to yahoo photos and flickr has some real cool utilities. If user interface is the reason people might subscribe to flickr, why isn't Steve Jobs the richest man on earch?

The main reason for Flickr's popularity has been its tagging feature.. thanks to blogs, del.icio.us, technorati etc. tagging has become one of the coolest fads in the recent times, and flickr is about the only photo album site that provides it (or at least it was the first one).
That said, yes I don't think the site is really that useful. I tried using them but gave up because they had so many restrictions.. on file size, on number of photos, on bandwidth blah blah blah.. I use photobucket and although it has a number of limitations too, there hasn't really been any good reason for me to switch.
Yeah Photobucket is better in the sense it has no size or bandwidth restriction. It is also understandable if they let us have only a limited free storage, per account!
Thnx for your comments guys.. I think I already have an account with photobucket.. will explore more..
