Flickr

Got an email from Flickr today concerning my new account and the new limits and restrictions that will be imposed once my free Pro trial ends. What a bunch of crap. Instead of this service being much like Yahoo photos they are deciding to charge for those same services we received for free from Yahoo prior to the switch.

So just to warn all of my friends and family, as of November 9th there will be some limitations according to sucky ass Flickr. You will only be able to see small photos and the last 200 that we have uploaded to Flickr; among other things. Why not just leave the service the way it was instead of charging for it?

This feels like buying a car. If you had power windows and locks and you want to buy a new car there is no way in hell you will get a new car without those amenities. Now you know why car dealers add weird features to the cars they have on the lot. If you get a car with some goofy feature you never had before chances are when you buy your next car you will order that feature.

Anyway, I digress. I will be looking into Google Photos more closely now I think. Tell all your friends Flickr sucks!

Ha, my first car didnt have power windows or power steering, for that matter. So I guess it depends on what you are looking for. That's why we went with Picasa photos. We couldn't import all our pics, but we didnt care.
