I've discovered the cause: Bing has the photo as its 7th result for some online game of the same name as the title of the image, so my assumption would be people might be clicking on it thinking it's photos of the game.

Meh, looks like a mutant stepchild of flickr and facebook. Also, that article has some glaring errors/untruths in it:

"Most images on Flickr fall under Creative Commons, so the site is a free for all to spread beautiful images around the world without paying attention to copyright"

Wrong. By default all images uploaded to flickr are All Rights Reserved and will remain so unless changed by the user. Also, Creative Commons _is_ a copyright, it is just a very permissive one. It does not mean that all and sundry can use the shots for whatever they want.

I've been trying it out for just over a week now and really like it. The part I really like is so far I've yet to see one of those annoying html badges in a comment. That and there's some really good photographers one there. Based on this first week, I can see me letting my flickr account lapse when it comes up for renewal.

Oh, and forgot what I was originally going to write...a large part of why I use flickr, and indeed, the original reason I created a flickr account was to host pics to post elsewhere...like here. How is 500px for that? I can see running into issues with the 20 photos per week limit, and also the fact that this place seems to want to be 'artsy'. I don't think my construction updates would do well there

I delete all those cheesy or post 1 comment 100 invites too

I sometimes go so far as to block the users who happen to invite me more than once to those lame groups.

I'm not sure where the 20 photos per week is came from. Maybe when the first started as I've uploaded more than that in one night.

You'd probably be wasting bandwidth with construction pics. I'm planning on continuing to use either flickr or Picasa for those types of shots.

I'll be treating 500px as an online portfolio and only post what I think are my best shots. As I mentioned before, their's some amazing photographers there. If that makes it "Artsy" so be it, I'm there to view some incredible photos and hopefully learn something.

I think this site shows a lot of innovation and I think that continue to happen.
I follow one of founders on Twitter, and he's on google+ and he actually responds personally to user's questions and requests. That's not going to happen forever, but for now it's pretty awesome.

You may post a lot of construction stuff but you my friend are a true artist at heart and have some really amazing works of art. Dont sell yourself short.

.
Because of this very thread I found out about the site and I'm going to give it a go and use it just for my best pictures. I like the 20 per week limit so I'll be a bit choosy on what I post. Unlike flickr where I put much of what I take, good or meh.

I've yet to run into the 20 a week limit, but I like the idea of only uploading your best. I'll see if I can find your account.

I don't think I'd do well with this service. I'd never be able to pick my 20 best shots.
