Flickr is an online international photo management and sharing application. It’s a social networking site for photos/photographer.

People can upload photos manage them into online photos and can choose who you want to see the photos. The site also allows other to add tags, comments and notes. You can do this all from your own computers and you mobile devices. You can also connect to Flickr and the photos you post through RSS feeds, emails an posting to blogs. Are just a few ways you can use Flickr.

You can put details into the photos such as “tagging” both people and location as well as the dates.  Flickr allows you to “favourite” pictures so that you can find photos you enjoy or use more quickly. You can also “share” your photos on other social networking sites such as:

·         Facebook

·         Twitter

·         Blogging – Blogger,

If you chose to connect Flickr with your networking site on your site it will create a badge. So that you can just click a link and it will take you instantly to Flickr and the pictures. You can also create slideshows via Flickr.
