Flickr.com, I guess there are tons of fans of that website. As a amateur photo-taker, I ever would like to have a flickr account and to share my own stuff.
However, every time I ended up with deleting my flickr account with few photos uploaded--for most of times, I deleted my account before uploading anything!
The reason was simply: I don’t like the style of yahoo accounts. Plain ugly.
However, once and once again, I still imagined to own a flickr and share with others--though I’m a real google picasa user, I would like an unlimited uploading space--on that point, I think I won’t mind the monthly limited space.
So this morning, I stepped onto that website again, for no reason, or maybe just got bored from during work.
Ohh, what I saw? Sign in with your google account! Does it mean my previous active yahoo account is rubbish now? Sounds exciting enough and I signed in with my primary google account, got a new username called “harvetasya”--don’t ask me why, you’re supposed to know what I like! :P
While enjoying figuring out my new flickr profile, filling all blanks and changing the settings, I came to the page where you can change the accessibility.
And the problem came.
None (include I myself) can get the access to the original photo, because I’m a free user.
What?! That’s darn stupid! Who would like to pay ~$25 each year and enabling some pointless extra features? There are people doing that, but just not me! Comparing with it, get 20GB by $5 each year at google storage is such a luck.
I was very annoyed. Eventually, what I really enjoyed about this morning’s working was only the username. People have their own preference, I can comment nothing on that, but for me, flickr is just way too stupid and very unfriendly. I was planning to share my single photos onto flicker and use picasa mainly for batch uploading, but now, hmm fine, good-bye flickr; I won’t be back to flickr, this time, for real.
