The default search on flickr.com is for the string you enter in search
associated with *photos* in flickr.com. If you click on search, click
on people, then enter my name and hit the search button, you get me.
Calling up Flickr.com, I get just ONE advertisement on the opening
page. Even without logging into an account, once you're past that,
there are NO other stinkin' advertisements.
On every photo.net page, there are one, two, or four animated
advertisements. A similar search for "Paul Stenquist" in the search
box on Photo.net, without changing the search domain, produces a
variety of books from Amazon.com where the name "Paul" is in the
description. And then the page hangs on the second click due to the
crappy animated advertising junk. UNLESS you pay for the service and
then you are graciously allowed to only have to pass through one or
two pages of them. It's all about advertising now, something which I
despise having thrust in my face at every available opportunity. And
it's buggy.
At least the erroneous hits using the front page search button on
Flickr have something to do with me. ];-)

I don't know. The startup page for flickr is a mess, what with the
Nikon ads and the high school art direction. And if I search for
Godfrey DiGiorgi. I get "My world in B&@ by SmilingMonk and a.k.a.
Evangelism by Tim Holmes. Hmmm.
But to each his own.

The curl over ads don't bother me. They go away immediately.
Advertising is good. It pays bills. I love advertising.
I far prefer photo.net to flickr. Much nicer presentation, much
faster, much more available information.
But I would appreciate it if the rest of you would stop using
flickr:-).
