I took the Flickr tour, and found out how easy it was to Upload, Edit, Organize, Share, Map, Make Stuff, Keep in Touch, and Get updates from family and friends. You can upload using the Flickr Uploader, using iPhoto, Aperture, or Windows XP plugins, from the upload web page, from email and other third-party desktop programs. Editing photos through http://www.picnik.com/ is also super easy, but I prefer Photoshop myself. You can organize photos though flickr and have your own sets depending on your personal preferences. Sharing photos is also easy through flickr, and you can set your preferences to not share, share with friends and family, or share with the world. The maps feature allows to tag photos by location, and could be used to help people know more about a particular place. Next you can make stuff through flickr, take your photos and make prints, posters, cards, photobooks, calendars, and other fun stuff. I personally use zazzle.com for making stuff, but flickr looks like they have the right idea as well. Finally you can keep in touch with family and friends through flickr and add them simliarly to a social networking site, and share photos online.
Flickr is one of many of the photo hosting, sharing, and publishing websites available today. It was nice to learn more about one I am less familiar with.
