I like pbase, but I'm not trying to sell anything. It's simple and I like the technical side with all of the EXIF, camera database, etc. However if I were trying to sell photos, then I'd definitely look into something else.

PBase for both business and personal images, with links to my Blog and website. For those of you folks who use or are considering Flicker, just found this article on Cnet:

http://www.webware.com …825407-2.html?tag=nl.e404 (external link)

The author wrote about the pros and cons of that service. Not using it I couldn't say if it's accurate, but might make for some interesting reading.

the reason i don't like flicker is that any body can just go there and take your pictures and post them anywhere they want. like this for an example. (external link) and this... (external link)

I don't see the problem there. The person did not copy the pictures, they linked to them. That's the whole point of the WWW - linking. Not the same as actually copying the file.

Welcome to the world. That's true no matter where you host your photos... ;)

Copying would be a copyright violation - linking is just the url path to that image.... it's not taking it. That's the beauty and/or curse of the web.:rolleyes:

I have my own site. I also have a Flickr account but reached the 200 pic limit and haven't bothered in upgrading it.

Started on Photo.net but was intimidated by the much higher skills (then) of others...
Moved to Photsig.com but really disliked the whole ratings game...
Now on PBase. It just works for me at this point...
Hope to open a gallery on one of the "Photos For Sale" sites in 2008...

Le Smugmug..

I Like that you can 'protect' your pics - in fact I think they have just had a revamp on image security..now you can even completely hide pics, or just right click or hot linking protect. It may be more involved than that but Im no techie..;-)a

Personally I love'em

obligatory code offering:
- If you'd like a free trial of SmugMug, just use this code - jS8X1Sapu33tY when you apply for your free trial.
