@bryce Where will you put your non-Instagram-type photos now? What about the pics you had on Flickr? Another support group member, @bijan!

@arainert @bryce @bijan What about Open Photo? http://j.mp/nE8Hyc It could become a good alternative.

@buzz I gave it a try today, I really did. Hard to port things to it, it looks like (have to use the existing URL structure). So new or no.

@marcprecipice Yeah, you definitely give up that Wordpress-like ability to control every aspect of the system. I just lost interest in that.

@marcprecipice I guess it helps that there's not much from my prior blog that I cared about preserving :-P.

@buzz @bryce but tumblr still doesn't have the sorting/searching/categorizing tools of flickr. Will that change?

@buzz @bryce Tumblr still seems like too much "now" without enough "past" to be a viable flickr replacement.

@harryh @bryce Yeah, true. But it's a lot better than Instagram as a place to post photos I care about but I actually want people to see.

@buzz @arainert @bryce photos look great on Tumblr due to considered scarcity - replicating all instagram or Flickr content changes that?

@joshuanguyen @buzz @bryce Totally agree. I personally wouldn't see it as a replacement but could be a nice vehicle to replace a Flickr set.

@joshuanguyen @buzz @bryce Instagram = great for the immediate one-off shares but there's a void on the collection-of-pics-as-narrative side

@joshuanguyen @arainert Yeah, I do think mass uploaders contributed to the tension between "now" and "archival" that Flickr never resolved.
