Webshots vs. Flickr? - Frank Boosman: As for the broader issue, the Flickr team has taken an ecosystem approach to building their service. To the best of my knowledge, the Webshots team has not. There is definitely room for plenty of different takes on photo sharing. / responding to comments like: Measuring Webshots (v Flickr) by how often they're mentioned in blogs is like measuring Coke against Izze or Red Bull. The latter may get the buzz, but I'll take Coke's market share any day. The key difference is they have a screensaver product that puts them on the desktop of everyone who likes screensavers, not just everyone who likes RSS. Ask yourself this: which one will your Mom bother to download & install? Which one has crossed the chasm (groan)? chasm?
