I’ve obviously been hunting around online and in the blogosphere (more specifically the general web, including Flickr groups as well as  blogs) to see if there are any testimonials of how the upgrade was worth the extra coin. Some people mention that the ability to archive all their images online is nice, and they prefer it over Kodak or some of the other photosharing systems that are out there when they send images to their friends. Others like the fact that there is a generally mature community that is present and it’s a refreshing change from Facebook or Myspace. Along these lines, I found one post in particular that stood out. This person is also wondering about making the jump and sees that the social network is really the biggest selling point and that the yearly fee to be able to archive images for as long as you pay is somewhat iffy for those who are already paying for hosting and the rest.
