I am quite keen on being a Content Creator, rather than purely a Content Consumer in social networks. This means I am keen to find and share new things from outside the network (as opposed to just re-sharing content from within that service), and also I love to share new images I have taken, or new things I have created - including blog posts :)
Because of this I have tried out quite a number of the various image services over the last year or so and have very mixed feelings about most of them.
This article was born out of a desire to compile my thoughts, but also the thought that this research might be of interest to a few of you too.
