Flickr Alternatives

[livingdeb]

I swear when I started using Flickr, there was no 200-picture limit for the free accounts. There was a per-month limit that I didn't mind sticking to.

It's only $25 a year to switch to the "pro" account. Even though I am not a pro or any kind of heavy user at all. And I swear it was a bait-and-switch.

I'm at 187 photos now. They are all there for the purpose of having something to link to in this journal.

I'm looking for an alternative. I've got a time limit of 13 pictures (at least two months, I'm guessing).

I use photobucket for non-pretty stuff that I post in my blog. Like, if it's a picture of my sliced neck, or graphics of my thyroid, or pix of my new iPhone. If the photos are nice, I post them at Flickr. Maybe a balance between the two could keep you under your 200 picture limit?

At Photobucket there are ads everywhere, so it's not good for browsing. It's ok for hosting. There's a limit of 1GB of storage, and a max of 1MB per picture. The picture resolution sizes are limited, too. I think the largest size is 1024x768.

It's not a great solution. Cough up the cash for Flickr! It looks like the Photobucket upgrade is $40 per year! Jeez.
