fotoLibra and Flickr — the difference

Posted Friday, January 11th, 2008 at 11:50

I read a sad blog today by someone who had lost all his photographs on Flickr as a result of a malicious hack: http://www.portigal.com/blog/stories-lost-forever/

Flickr can’t reinstate his photographs. fotoLibra could have done.

I’m often asked by people who don’t know about picture libraries what the difference between fotoLibra and Flickr is.

Putting aside comparisons between Heathrow and Little Gransden Airfield, the obvious difference is that we sell our members’ hi-res photographs and make money for them, whereas Flickr lets people share lo-res images.

But the core difference is the business model. We want to sell your photographs for you, whereas Flickr wants your consumer profile and contact details.
