Thread Name: Mudcat Profiles and Photos
Subject: RE: Profiles and Photos
During the moratorium, FlickR really took off. I dunno if that will remain a free, permanent source for posting photo albums-- I've seen a lot of "free" stuff come and go in the last several years of explosive internet development. Once a "free" service gets you hooked, as I think most folks know, eventually along comes someone's idea of a ready-made income stream. (Remember when cable TV was going to be free, and commercial-free as well?)

But I recall Max saying, about song lyrics, that Mudcat would still be here when other sites have come and gone.

Mudcat "Event" photos also used to be fairly sparse around here, till affordable (cheap) digital photography coincided with FSGW Getaway really taking off among Catters. Now, the photo section is less about finding one another at festivals and more of a photo-album of good memories for those who attended (and drooling opportunities for those who missed them)... . I have NO idea what Mudcat is willing to maintain for the future, in terms of photo albums. Putting photos up is easy, and so is making a page to put them ON, but storage space for pix can get kinda crowded and expensive to pay for if you want GOOD quality pix of a decent size as we seem to enjoy hereabouts.
