Flickr is in a short list of my most-frequented, and favorite, web applications. That being said, once I setup my Photos section I began to only use my Flickr account to comment on my Flickr contact’s photos.
Recently I decided that, instead of allowing my Flickr account to go to waste, I would use it as my primary way of uploading photos from my iPhone. Instead of creating a mobile version of my photolog, I now just email my photos to my Flickr account and display them there.
After leaving MySpace, Facebook, and LinkedIn – I’m beginning to think of new ways that I can use some of my accounts that I have lingering all over the place. Do you have any good examples of how you’re reusing older accounts on web sites?
I’ve left MySpace. That was easy. But Facebook? LinkedIn? Mmmm… I can understand Facebook. But I don’t understand LinkedIn and am curious as to why you left.
I left Ringo. Another photo-sharing site like Flickr, but stupid. That was an easy leave. I couldn’t stand having to keep accepting friends from college whom I never really talked to. I got up to 225 contacts and shut it down. On Facebook, got up to 225 and shaved off about 100. I’m about to delete more and try to get it down to about 30. I’ve recently shut down my YouTube account.
I had Virb for a day. Not even for a day. More like 45 minutes.
The only thing I find useful is Flickr and LinkedIn. But my Flickr account maybe on the chopping block sometime soon too.
Good use of Flickr. I need to send the photos from my iPhone more regularly to Flickr.
I like your last post about parting ways with MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn. I have been thinking a lot recently of what the point is in being on, say 20 networks but not time to keep up with them all, or just chosing 3 and putting time into them.
So many options these days. I think we’ll all come back to the blog, or RSS being the one common language, because how the heck do you find the time to visit every unique network, people sign themselves onto.
