well? what's the difference!? ::

> photobucket:

photobucket is used for novice photomanipulator's and photographers, like your mother who want's to show a friend a photo and you have to teach her - or something. photobucket uses no skill and is a plain mess, just keeping one gets disorderly and it is not fun to organize when it gets out of hand. the other thing about photobucket is that it only host photo's as long as you have them on your computer. say your computer crashes and you loose most of your work? well, that's your problem when you go to photobucket. finally, finding stock on such place is not easy - actually, i do not think it is possible... o.o' therefore, photobucket is a non-reliable source.

> deviantART:

deviantART, or dA, is a sanctuary for anybody who is an intermediate level for the computer works and such. it is where you can go for stock, poetry, photomanipulation, brushes, textures, tutorials, flash animation, and even more! many of the best manipulators make nest there, and are always an inspiration to look at their beautiful photo's. you can upload so many things there, text or files, and it is such a fantastic way to learn more about your own style of photomanip. as well as other people's! another plus is that when you upload a file, i do believe that it is much, much, more reliable than photobucket - to where the file is it's own copy and holds place on photobucket reliably. next, it is so easy to use, as photobucket links will be destructed if you organize, deviantart links are unhindered by your folders and such - the links are straight to the photo's and pay no mind to where the photo actually is. finally, it has a journal so you may update what you want to say and such! as well as a system of notes and comments on pages and you may favourite and watch your favourite artist!!! so much is working on this website it is highly suggested that you make an account there.
