Nice and clear article. One question what about Picasa? Looks also like a good possibility.

You have a good point about migrating your images from flickr, but this app is highly regarded for its ability to download your photos with all metadata, tags, etc. But I do agree with Craig about only posting your best work, it only takes one bad picture for me to loose interest with someone.

500px… i like interface its simple and good looking, easy upload, better search engine and the main issue is that the 500px has very nice photo engine which is not distracting my pisc more (which i already disctract in PS =) )

im assuming your writing this from a computer powered by a 486 Pentium on a 15″ CRT monitor, while rifling though thousands of Cd’s at a tower records that no longer exists after you traveled back in time to the mid 90′s. business goes to those who can satisfy a clienteles endless needs for the best cost. if you are a flikr or a facebook that relies entirely on advertising dollars, your only task in life is to keep people coming back. facebook, unlike flikr, could care less about photo quality, because they just need speed, and a layout that entices people to constantly check back. flikr is photos. if you dont improve your interface like 500px, or your quality like google+, you will become a tower records. your income will fall short, people will be let go, you’ll be unable to support your servers, every photo will become extinct. so, we dont change for for the sake of change. we change to be better, and to be prepared for what may come. and if you still are weary of change, come meet me at borders and we can talk about it

I would argue that 500px and Google+ are geared towards 1000s of photos. People on Flickr tend to post a lot of average images where people on 500px and Google+ are only showing their very best work. Out of your 1000s of images I would suggest that you really only need to show 30-50 of these. Only the best.

If you have the time, it’s also a great option, in my opinion.

I’m not going to state which service I like best, I use many of them, but I did want to throw out a workflow tip. When using Instagram, I’ve found it easiest to couple it with Dropbox. You can select images from your dropbox to publish on Instagram in one click. So, export your final image to your Dropbox from you comp. Then simply head to your phone and when you get to the camera or library option to select where your getting your images from… click Dropbox! Done. I’ve posted several of the screen shots from publications that way, quite simply actually.

This is true if you fit into one of the niche’ categories or are a “well known” photographer but it is so hard to figure out how to use G+. I have been there since it started and still can’t figure it. I am not sayin’ it isn’t great, just that it is not as simply as so many have made it out to be.

I totally agree. The awesome thing about Google+ is that Google is always updating and tweaking to make it an even better place to be. Images look great there. I’m a big fan of 500 also. It felt so good to no renew my Flickr account. They have added no value to it’s members in YEARS. They don’t care about the user one bit because if they did they would at least show some changes or add value to their paying subs! Great work on the article.
