You see flickr everywhere. Blogs have their flickr widgets pointing to their work. Some have their own flickr group based on their blog. I always wonder though how effective it really is in generating interest in your work.
I have my own flickr account but have yet to upload any photos to it, and I haven’t decided yet if I even will. Maybe, if it seems worthwhile. Mostly I posts photos here, upload a few to my gallery site, and I have listings on a couple of photoblog directories. So far I’ve felt that that’s enough. I’ve thought that it’s more important to spend my time getting better at posting quality stuff rather than to scatter my energies at numerous other places. But I don’t know — am I missing out on something?
Any thoughts? Any experiences, pro or con, with flickr? Is it a useful tool for building up a blog, or is it more likely a collossal drain on one’s time and energy? Let me know what you think.
