Facebook is good for contacts.
You make many more contacts than you do here. I recomend Facebook members to join Firepicks but I dont know if any have joined. Posting on facebook is easyer, and facebook reduces the post size automaically.
FirePicks is more professional, and the photos stay in format. On facebook they dissappear, but you can bring them up by typing in a search.
My biggest problem with Facebook is that MANY posters copy and repost your photos with out giving any credit, and sometimes not even the information. I got so fed up that I started to mark the photos that I post, and I never wanted to do this.
An example of this was of a recently scanned Mack L delivery photo that I posted in the Mack page. Before I could post it any where else some one copyed it and reposted it with in minutes on the Local area facebook page that I wanted to post. When I called the person out on it He got real flip and said, are you the only guy with Mack delivery photos? But I had cropped and edited the photo and it was my same exact post.
I had another guy copy all of my Pennsylvania post's in full (from Firepics) and not once mentioned where He got the photos from. This was a big suprise to me when I first started on Facebook, and some of my local fire fighting friends told me I should talk to the guy because he has more photos than every one else. All of the photos that he had posted were hijacked from Firepicks.
I only wish I could post larger photos on Firepicks. 199 is just too small.
