If I remember right, Flickr did tell you that as a non-pro you get only 200 photos and 5 sets. At least, it was the way when I was still new to flickr. If Ludicopr made up this rule about 200, then their name makes sense, > short for Ludicrous Corporation. lol. I loved the name, though. btw ....it's fun to watch the features tug-of-war twixt Yahoo and > Google...Yahoo Messenger has the stealth setting, Gtalk has it > not....Picasa has great offline photo editing features, Flickr has not > (even though they recently introduced on-line photo-editing..the geeks > on this list probably enjoy this feud with much deeper knowledge than > I have! I somehow haven't warmed up to Picassa online albums yet. Probably because I already have too much time and money invested in flickr. Deepa.
