Honestly, just last night I was looking and editing photos of a recent trip, and I uploaded them to tumblr to share on a small photo blog I just recently started. After spending some time trying to get the colors right, I realized that tumblr's image compression is god awfully horrendous. I felt so bad looking at my source JPEGs next to the tumblr post that I created a new flickr account right then.

I don't necessarily think JPEG is bad, or that it's even Tumblr's fault that I first thought to share photos there, but if any service/software started using BPG I think I would excitedly try it out.
