i'll preface this by saying i generally hate social networking sites and have avoided myspace and flickr and facebook etc. forever.
but i'm noticing more and more people (esp photographers) who have a portfolio site and a flickr account. i suppose my question is does that actually matter? i always figured flickr was just kind of like photobucket for people to dump stuff, not a place to keep a portfolio.

It doesn't hurt to have a flickr account as a photographer. Especially if you want your work seen by people that normally wouldn't come across it. I didn't join flickr as a networking thing but have gotten quite a bit of work through it. Same goes for myspace, if you do band photography, but generally the place sucks.

Oh shit! Thanks for the heads up. I always mix and match my domain names and forget them. Fixed.
