Flickr vs. Photobucket: Which is better?

[Behind the Aegis]

I am curious (about the free versions) as to what people here think about photobucket and flcikr and if there is a preference of one over the other. I have a photobucket account and was looking at signing up for flickr, but that means I have to create yet ONE more email account (mine are hotmail, had to add gmail when I got my Droid). Is it even worth it?

Thanks.

1. there is a lower limit for photos

in the free Flickr account.......last I checked. Okay here is the deal with Flickr

"I have a free account. Some of my photos aren't showing up. Why?

On a free account, Flickr limits the number of photos displayed.

If you have fewer than 200 photos, we display them all. If you have more than 200 photos, only the most recent 200 are displayed.

Your photos are not removed from Flickr, only from the list of your photos. If you blogged a photo and it no longer appears in your list, it will still appear on your blog, and the photo's Flickr page will still work just fine.

If some of your photos aren't showing up, don't panic! Just upload some fresh ones. Or upgrade to a Pro Account.

Note: If your free account is inactive for 90 consecutive days, it may be deleted."

That from Flickr web page. I am still not sure I understand this, but it sounds a bit strange.

2. Flickr is $25 a year for the pro account.

So far I have 760 photos in my account.

3. What features are you looking for?

Each photo site tends to emphasize a different feature.
