I've thought about this for a while. Some of you follow me on Flickr, which is awesome. I love seeing all the pictures you guys post, but I really just hate how Flickr organizes things. It's really that Flickr doesn't organize things at all. It allows for sets, which is nice, but it's just not enough for my OCD. I tried it out for a year and there are some things I really love about it... for instance, I really like that I can see my stats, what's popular among my pictures, and which of my pictures is more "interesting". I love that I can look on a map for all the pictures I took in a certain area. I never used the editing feature because I love Lightroom too much to use anything else.
So, Flickr is nice, but my OCD won't allow it.
Once upon a time, I tried out Picasa. I hated it. I hear it's better now, so I'm going to give it another shot. So far, my biggest complaint is that they don't allow subfolders... I think I can work past that. The problem with not having subfolders is that I arrange all my folders within folders. For instance, I have a main folder called "2011". As a subfolder, I have "Summer 2011". As a subfolder of that, I have the random adventures I have had this summer like "Moab 0622". In each of these final folders, I have an "Edited" folder. So, in all I probably have like 15 folders with the name "Edited". Since Picasa won't allow subfolders, I now have 15 folders with the same name... so I have to go rename them all.
Once I get through this renaming process, I think I will be much happier with Picasa than with Flickr. But time will tell.
