Flickr vs. Snapfish

Flickr vs. Snapfish: Which one to choose?

In my previous blog I wrote about Flickr. Now, I am going to show ways that that Flickr and Snapfish are similar and different. Once you review the list, hopefully you will be able to decide which photo program best fits your needs.

Similarities:

- Both Flickr and Snapfish are free (atleast the basic version of Flickr).
- There are multiple ways to upload photos to these two photo programs.
- You can order prints from both programs.
- You can group your photos together in groups or sets on both Flickr and Snapfish.
- You can edit your pictures when using both programs.
- Great, creative gifts can be created using Flickr and Snapfish.


Differences:

- Using Snapfish, you can send in pictures on a roll of film and they can upload the pictures to your Snapfish account.
- Flickr has the maps feature that lets users see where the pictures posted on Flickr were taken.
- The kinds of projects able to be made vary (Ex. Flickr has picture cubes, and Snapfish has mugs).

On way to use Snapfish would be to create an album that can be used in the curriculum. This album I created consists of photos from the Air and Space Museum. These photos can be shown to the students when they are discussing Air and Space. Another way the pictures can be used is each student can take a picture and they can write a story about what they see. Click here for the photo album.
