Flickr

Does anyone here use it. What do you think of the new remade Flickr and 1 Terabyte of space. I only used it for a program that creates Warhol like photos. (not sure it is offered anymore)

i used Webshots in the past but that got taken over and lost all my photos ....all 3000 plus of hard work and I am not too happy about that.

It appears that the way photos are being downloaded uploaded shared has changed the photo sharing sites and not sure I enjoy it.

I heard that the FBI and CIA are scanning those site's and can find out information on people.

Well, that's what your local School Resource Officer is involved in, too, but no one seems to worry about it. (I would.) That according to a friend who was one a few years ago. He got more calls from the FBI wondering about the activities of children of people of interest than he did from his sergeant. He was also the school lookout re Gangs. He said it was more dangerous than when he had previously walked the street.



I tried Flickr in one of my attempts to find free storage. (I had trouble with Cloud storage when Drop Box back dated my files!)
I tried loading text files on Flickr just to see what happened. It ain't dumb. Told me they were not picture files and wouldn't upload them.

I wonder why you couldn't use a blog for storage of text or jpgs. You can make it private. But you can't a) hotlink or b)control the size of the stored image, so you might lose the resolution of your original.
