And they look different

Facebook:

Flickr:

Is this a known 'thing'? Does facebook knock out a load of quality to ensure smaller sizes or something?

Some of the photos I have uploaded to facebook have a much worse picture quality than flickr.

probably due to facebook compressing the image.

Much better just to have a link to your flickr account on your facebook profile, i think there is a flickr app as well.

Facebook quality looks better to me...

flickr always sharpens photos massively
facebook compresses the image much more.. i find sizing shots to 600 pixels before uploading them to facebook helps the quality
