Flickr and PBase

Added some more photography examples, reviews, news stories to the Research Section.Also I did a couple of reviews check my take on Flickr and PBase

Flickr


This site definitely has some good ideas to it that I have been thinking about. The one thing I don't like initially is no ability to upload mass photos.
From a practical standpoint, nobody really upload one photo at a time; There should be an ability to upload a zip or rar or tar or bz or gz or whatever compressed archive of their photos.
Most archiving programs are easy enough to use. I may be able to create one at the least.
As far as good features, it includes flash. It is especially nice to see that in a photo presentation suite like this. Try organizing your photos, it has a lot of the same ideas that Picasa uses.
I noticed when it mentions it resizes the photos, that gives me the idea that it caches them at upload, which is what I thought they do. It demand a name and description when it is being used right away, but it isn't nessecary.
There is this idea of "tags". It seems to be for easy searching, which is great for the search and cumbersome for the uploader. It includes invites groups and other facets I might look into, for more detail but this is certainly I good web counterpart for Picasa. I'm also sure I'll find other things to disagree with, especially since it's Beta.

PBase


This is a gallery database for photographers, to share photos online. It is organized by country and photographer.
Some even have a whole set of photos for one object. There is also an interesting listing of the galleries by person sorted by the last update so you can see who has some new photos up.
I like how public albums are available and displayed, but the website is more for professional photographers then a target audience I am thinking of.
