Post flickr question
I am kind of unfamiliar with flickr and I was thinking of starting an account, and I noticed that most people have flickr as opposed to photobucket... my question is, why does everyone prefer flickr? Is it preferred simply because one can link to other flickr accounts?

I kind of like photobuckets "view all" option that allows you to see all the pictures at once on a single page, but I don't think flickr has that option

doesn't photobucket have some time limit on how long each image stays on its server?

i use both.. flickr seems superior as far as layout and options.
the contacts feature on flickr makes it a big plus as well.

a lot of sb members are on there with awesome photos!
and you can view all your contacts newly updated pics, so its pretty rad

flickr is more a social photo site - contacts, groups
and you can organize and stuff like that a lot easier.

photobucket is more utility - using it to post images

No, I have had a photobucket account for years and all my images are still on there. They are pretty strict on content though, no boobies and whatnot.
