I became a Pro member of Flickr (translation=paid) because I felt it's the best and more social media friendly online photo repository. It doesn't hurt that I liked people's photos on there better than on Picasa, either.
But it's always tricky for me to decide whether I want to upload ALL the pics from my PC onto there, vs. keeping private ones private and away from the Internet. Er...we all have our reasons...
But then there's the new question: how do you backup Flickr photos in case something happens to your PC or to your Flickr (you decide you don't want something then you do after all and it's too late, etc.). Well apprently there's a few little tools you can leverage at your disposal. An article on 3 Tools to Backup your Flickr at makeuseof.com helps you figure out which option is best for ya.
As for me, I've bought a USB external drive to which I save all my music, movies, and photos on a weekly basis. I am still going to reread the above-mentioned article and see if this is an option I'm willing to try out. I shall enjoy solving the new conundrum of backup choice-making when I get a mac at the very end of this year.
