For those of you who use Flickr, you've probably seen the news that SmugMug has taken it off Verizon's hands for an undisclosed amount (they're so proud, they don't want you to know how much they got took for). But that will come out eventually, not that it really matters. PetaPixel seems to think it's a good deal for Flickr users, as SmugMug does not use sold advertising space to prop up the business. But what it could mean is no more free rides. Not that that bothers me, because I already pay for my account, though I can see the yearly amount going up on the next renewal. It depends on how SmugMug integrates the two systems, as I read that SM has fees from $4 to $40 depending on how many features you choose to have. With Flickr it was all in or not, and I was grandfathered in at $25 for my Pro account. It's a little late in the day, so I'll have to check out SM more some other time.
Here is the SmugMug home site if you want to find out for yourself (maybe switch from whatever service you are using now). https://www.smugmug.com/
