Photo Sharing Sites

Comparison Of Flickr And Woophy

When you open Flickr's site it greets you with more of a friendly site. On the home page it shows what the site has to offer you. You can take a tour of the site that can help you to use the site. You don't have to sign up to have a gander of other peoples photos on the side. While Woophy greets you with a map that shows where all the members of the site from the countries they come from. It doesn't have a tour option. And makes it look more complex site

 which doesn't seem to user friendly unless you're experienced at using photo sharing websites. But it shows you the latest blog spot on the site, latest comment and city of the day. But Flickr has a video option as well. So it means you can do more on the site than you can on Woophy.
