(For those of you who are less tech-savvy, that means that I upload the photo files to Flickr and the images you see on my blog are merely displayed on my blog even though the files reside on a server (file storage space) elsewhere. I also allow people to blog my photos as long as they leave the original photos on Flickr and merely embed image links in their blog pages. So again, Flickr is a great service for the storage and sharing of high-quality photographs.)

Here is my question 9 times out of 10 a person who uses one of my photos on flickr doesn’t ask me? And if you’re making money from your blog and one of my photos helped you isn’t that stealing my work?

Thanks for the information. I have lots of pics to share following a specific event, and I really was not sure with path to take. After reading this, I’m going with FB. And maybe those without an FB account will sign up!

Great comparison and helps kinda shuffle things intonperspective. Just started a site to share pics but every time I thought of a category (family, friends, work etc) I got to think I really needed different hosting services. So, flickr for my art photography and facebook for work/friends family I’m using Apples mobile me gallery. Mobile me is great as it flawlessly integrates to iPhone, iPad and any othe browser.

Thanks for the comparo. Take care!

I can see how people might interpret Facebook's Terms of Service it that way, Chris, but to look at both sides of the story, you might want to read Mark Zukerberg's Facebook Blog response On Facebook, People Own and Control Their Information. He makes some good points. Compare your sharing of photos on Facebook with the sharing of photos on every other photo sharing cite, and I think you'll see that Facebook is not unique in its ownership terms.

Any photo on Facebook is technically owned by facebook.
