Google offers (offered?) a "unlimited photo /video upload space" in exchange for compression. I was tempted by it, as I actually like contributing to their AI routines and such, which is part of what it does. But I didn't like the idea of ALL my stuff being compressed. Once the information is gone, it's gone, and if they have the primary copies, today's "looks good" compressed photo will look like crap in five years time. === I haven't gotten dependent yet on cloud. I did send a bunch of stuff (Vines - 10000 of them so far) to the Internet Archive... I have to get back to that project - and that was really complicated to automate but a lot of fun tongue emoticon - but I should do it with photos too. They're good about setting up an archivist spot for you if you just ask and tell them your project. ==== [I didn't ask though - I was overloading their systems with multiple simultaneously uploads and after killing my acct twice, he saw I was legitimate and gave me an Archivist title and a spot tongue emoticon ] ==
