I was thinking more the exhibit/show off/get some exposure. Where Flickr maybe still is the best generic place maybe.

Flickr being Yahoo puts me off. They seem about as secure as a rickety shed.

Good point.

I have a desire to show off my average photos to strangers. Maybe instagram is the best place these days, considering the hashtag system and volume of users. But I like it to be "live" or chronological. Do I need a separate account? No, surely not, I already have one for the cat :$

tumblr seems popular with the *serious* photo crowd.

I don't do social media, I only put photos on my own hosted web site (but link to them from elsewhere). Flickr does weird scaling things that degrade picture quality, plus their links aren't real reliable from what I've seen.

Tumblr? Really?
I always thought it was for memes and kids. Never really ventured on there.

I did a parody called fumblr
