I disagree about getting the Flickr URL though it is true that the names are not logical. If you right-click on any image in Flickr you can copy the URL. It’s more obvious in Firefox than IE, but it works in both.

Flickr wins for me, mainly due to the favouriting, noting and commenting functions.
The only advantages of Brickshelf are that it goes out to a wider audience, and that it is quicker to get the image URLs, as they are logically named, unlike on Flickr (which has the problem of having to click All Sizes on an image to get the URL first, too).
Because of this, I upload my pictures to both Flickr and Brickshelf, so I can get the image URLs easily for use on various forums, but so that I can get the benefits of Flickr aswell.

Well numbers are good for the ego (if they’re good numbers) – but then a comment saying something is cool is even better for the ego :) But I agree, Flickr is better. I just don’t want to leave the old-skool folks out of the story entirely, so I’ll try to remember about Brickshelf moving forward.

When I upload to flickr I get comments and reviews from a number of friends I’ve met online. When I upload to Brickshelf I get cold numbers. I don’t care about numbers, I do care about talking with people. Flickr wins!
