Snapjoy is awesome. I've been using it for a few months and have never looked back.

I agree - Snapjoy is fast, beautiful, and simple. They can win by doing less than the competition. Personally, I can't take the bloat and feature-creep that has turned Flickr into a giant hassle. Just getting your photos into Flickr has been a hurdle from day one, with no official app for iPhoto.

That's not to say there aren't Snapjoy features I want to see: the ability to create/share collections that span multiple dates/moments is at the top of the list.

But as soon as I started using Snapjoy I knew it had massive potential. I especially love the default timeline view, it puts just enough structure around your photos for discoverability, etc.

EDIT: I would love to be able to pay annually and save, though. $15 month is a lot of coin for a non-business app.

With Flickr, I get unlimited storage for $24/year. I'm probably nearing 100GB of photos there, so in order to store those same photos with Snapjoy, it would cost me $120/year. What's the extra value that I get for an additional $100/year? And does Snapjoy integrate with iPhoto? I use Flickrfriend for iPhoto now to sync Flickr and iPhoto, but if I don't have a way to sync Snapjoy and iPhoto, it's a non-starter.

I don't think FlickrFriend is available or supported anymore: http://unpaq.com/software/flickrfriend/

That's sad. At least the copy I have still works.

UnifyPhotos http://export.goyaka.com lets you move your Flickr photos to Facebook.

Interesting note mentioned there - "I love snapjoy's UI. But they don't allow import from flickr. Also, social circle in Snapjoy is something I have to build. Facebook fits the bill."

Having been around conversations with some of the old Flickr people, I have to disagree. It's definitely sinking, and has been slowly gutted over the past few years. This is only the most recent piece of news: http://nolancaudill.com/2012/01/30/the-front-line/ All of the core Flickr people have left, and some (like Aaron Straup Cope) are starting to build their own: http://straup.github.com/parallel-flickr/ http://ww…

> It's definitely sinking opinion != fact existing alternatives != original sinking I'm not a fan of Yahoo either, but all I hear is that is sinking because somebody got fired, or it's sinking because someone on a blog wrote that he doesn't like it no more. So what there's pararell or whatever other apps to backup or sync? I've started making sth similar for django http://zalew.net/2012/01/11/django-flickr/ and what…

It's like a bank run; rumor spreads that Flickr is dying, so everyone pulls their photos and stops paying for pro accounts because they think Flickr is dying, causing Flickr to die.

Flickr is a huge site and they're not going to suddenly stop working one day. If they do decide to shut down, they're going to give users plenty of notice and probably offer easy ways to export photos and metadata. Until that happens, my photos are staying on Flickr and I'll continue to view my friends' photos on Flickr.

This is tacky on two levels: 1) it just attacks flickr without really giving any reason. Flickr is a sinking ship. Great. Why? Why do we have any reason to believe Snapjoy is going to outlast Flickr? 2) Using the image of a sinking cruise ship weeks after a cruise ship wreck killed at least 17 people. I'm not easily offended, and this didn't personally offend me, but it's pretty much the first thing I thought of when…

I thought the same thing regarding flickr being a sinking ship. The first thing I did was go to google news to make sure I had not missed something.
