Flickr and DataLibre


Darren Barefoot has come around on Flickr after earlier making the very DataLibre comment "I’ve yet to be convinced that the best place for my online photos isn’t on my own site."

He says it's the convenience that's won him over. Any feature in particular, Darren?

I certainly have found it easier to put photos up on Flickr than on jtauber.com, but that's just because of the current state of Leonardo. There's no reason why, in the future, Leonardo couldn't provide things like Windows Publishing Wizard support and iPhoto integration to make it just as easy to get stuff up on my own website.

But even then, I might still consider using Flickr. As I've mentioned before, I'm interesting in separating aggregation and hosting, not eliminating aggregation. I should be able to take advantage of Flickr's aggregation by pointing them to my self-hosted photos.
