Zooomr vs. Flickr: Who's Better To You?

I assume everyone knows about Flickr and how it works so, I'll skip to the meaty chunk, ok?

So, I signed up for another online photo community site called Zooomr (yes, three O's). Now, i never heard of this site until i noticed Thomas Hawk had uploaded some photos. As usual, I joined it just to see what's doing.

If you're used to Flickr, then you'll quickly adapt to Zooomr.
It's the same method: upload photos and share them. The do have PRO accounts but compared to Flickr, I like it. Why?


Check-out some of these great Pro-Only features:

* Zipline Complete: Is page 1 just not enough? Zipline Complete gives you the ability to view all of your friend's Zipline messages.
* Social Stream: Find tons of up-to-date social information from your Photos and Social Circle, all at-a-glance!
* Discover Pro: Want better exposure for your photos, Discover Pro shows the world photos from our Pro Users
* Better Support: While we help everyone as best we can, being a Pro will escalate your issues to the top of our lists.
* Ad-Free Layout: View Zooomr without the advertisements!


Most of the stuff listed here I don't really mind but, you're telling me I don't have to pay for "Unlimited Photo Storage" and "Unlimited Sets/Collections"?
Already, I may switch to Zooomr for my photos.

OH! and Zoomer actually detects my Sony Handycam whereas Flickr only detects my Cybershot.

Sorry Flickr but... Zooomer is my new favorite.
