Upload Limit
I was uploading some pictures from France to my Flickr account today, but not paying attention to the 20MB per month upload limit. So, I was just uploading the pictures in their original size, which was about 2000×1500. Bad idea. After uploading 10 pictures, my bandwidth usage was up to 55%.
I immediately stopped the uploading and sized down the rest of the images, but you just can’t upload 90 pictures with only 11MB of bandwidth left.
I guess I’ll have to wait till July to upload any more images.

Why don’t you just go with a photo upload service that has no limits on uploads? I know shutterfly.com doesnt, nor does kodakgallery.com.

Because Flickr is just kewler.
Anyway, all photo services have some kind of limit. Better to have an upload limit than a storage limit, I guess.

I still like Flickr, but thanks for the list.
Also, Flickr can’t be old school because it’s Web 2.0 (look at the Flickr Organizr).
Plus, a lot of things are compatible with Flickr (like Flock).

Uh… Sorry, bad Latin translation… I think I see “I win for now” though.
