    Default Flickr: is it worth it

    I've hit my 'monthly bandwidth limit on flickr and am considering purchasing the yearly subscription. Is it worth it? Well I guess only I can answer if it's worth it for me so I want to know if it's worth it for you and why.

    Feel free to make comments on any of my shots

    I think so...I have the pro account and I don't think it's much money.

    Same ... not too much to pay for unlimited space and Flickr is simple and easy to use.

    Me too! I hummed and hawed too but I like being part of the community and it gives me a place to show my stuff.

    I have a flickr, I'm not to fond of the presentation, I've recently started using Zenfolio. I like the presentation a lot better. It is pricier than flickr though but I can control access to my photos. The biggest benefit is that people don't have to be members to have access to my secured photo's unlike facebook or flickr.

    I like flickr because it's fairly easy to use and very popular. I used to have a pro account but I'm not posting that much these days so I let it fade.

    The price seems reasonable for a pro account.

    But I agree, the presentation sucks and thousands of people have told them so. They are making a mistake and are losing $ by not giving the people what they want.
