I do the same, I have a Pro account on smugmug so I can continue to use my personal URL (www.imagebysp.com) and sell prints for profit and I still maintain my Flickr account as I find the social part of Flickr to be stronger than smugmug. I tend to put the images I think could sell on my smugmug site and my experimental and just for fun photography on Flickr to see how people react to it. Both are great sites and both have a place.

Hey, thanks for the write-up! I think you nailed it on the head – we have great display and Flickr has great community.

One note, though – we do have photostream. We call it "Timeline" but it's essentially the same thing – or at least, we think so. You can put it on your homepage from your Control Panel.

If I'm wrong, though, I'd love to know more! We don't really do competitive research, so I'm not 100% sure how Flickr's differs from ours. But you can tell me – and then I can build what you want.
