23 Things- #5 Photo Sharing

Hello Again from 3 Legged Ed!
Do you wonder what this nickname means?
After a lifetime of learning, continual study and observation, I have come to agree wholeheartedly with the late Dr. Raymond Moore  that a well-educated person gains their knowledge via 3 avenues,
academic study, work experiences and volunteer opportunities. Hence, like the 3 legs of a well balanced stool that functions properly and effectively, I view education for myself (or for my children) like a 3-legged stool!

 Well, I just completed reading about and exploring 2 options for photo sharing on the internet as instructed for item number 5 of the 23 Things project.
I had previously heard about Flickr but Photobucket was new to me. Both sites have all the latest bells and whistles for uploding from various equipment or places. You can use your phone, camera or ipad type of computer. You can also share these photos by easily connecting with a wide variety of sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

At first look my personal preference is Flickr. It just seemed more user friendly to this "ole" gal!
I preferred the font size of the text and the easier step by step instructions given right up front.
It also appeared to directly give me pertinent information without requiring me to do a lot of searching on my own to answer quetions.
To see what I am referring just go to Flickr's home page here:
http://www.flickr.com/.

Photobucket on the other hand seemed more like a site one would use for professional photo and/or video sharing. Their web site featured many unique and wonderful ways to share your photos. A huge variety of wal papers, fun quotes to add to your photos, and numerous artistic backgrounds and frames to choose from. Check out http://www.photobucket.com/ to view these pages. I found their web site a bit harder to follow and to find things. You may have to scroll around to find all you are loking for.

With these similarities and diferenes in mind I personally would work with Flickr at this stage of the game.
Have fun and enjoy this amazing world of technology!
