Another thing about flickr, and another site, different, called eyefetch, is that hardly anyone offers a realistic ritique. 'Everything' is beautiful, gorgeous.... etc. Frustrating if you are trying to get an honest, constructive, opinion!

You are not kidding about only a small percentage of the photos on Flickr being worth a damn.

I would guess Flickr could get back several dozen terabytes of storage space if it could develop software to delete pictures of cats staring at a camera...another two or three to delete pictures of cats sleeping.

Interesting take on Flickr. I agree with a lot of it but, for a slightly different perspective:

Flickr was a surprise to me too...It started out a a tool to make me shoot for fun. I hated not having stuff to put up on the site...so i would get and shoot once a week for me. For this year I've sold more images on flickr than through photoshelter. And I'm not talking to ma & pa...but to big national companies! I still surprises me when an buyer tells me they found me on flickr.

Thanks for the post. There are so many different opinions about how Flickr is viewed, and after reading this post I'm a little less confused.

Apart from that, it's important to mention that the Flickr guidelines say you shouldn't sell your products through the site: http://www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne
