Adding my 2 cents. Just because. I'll look at photos on photodotnet if it's a PESO, GESO, or whatever, but I never just go poke around there like I used to. It's a shame. There was, at one time, a thriving community at photo.net. I don't much care for the interface at flickr. It was never all that great and IMHO it gets worse with every revision. But if someone posts a link to a photograph, I'll look at it. Flickr's also nice, due to the sheer volume, for searching for a particular subject, e.g. if I wanna look at pictures of orange fixed-gear bicycles, or nudes taken on 4x5 Tri-X and processed in XTOL, or whatever. Smugmug is really nice for hosting photos and absolutely dreadful for viewing them. It's S L O W E R T H A N S N O T, those silly photo rating pop-up thumb thingies that I have to wait for just to change the size of the picture are awful, and I simply don't look at photos hosted there. Ever. Photo bucket is fine if you're hosting photos there and displaying them elsewhere, but I won't actually go to photobucket address to look at a photo. I had more or less settled on PIcasaweb for photo hosting, but I really don't think the UI is as good as it used to be for viewing purposes. It's fine for embedding links on the blog, etc. I may start hosting my own again, because the photo hosting sites are like operating systems - they all suck. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ __o _'\<,_ (*)/ (*) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
