Thing 9: Flickr

Flickr is an online photo sharing website. It has many cool features that make it a very useful tool. It can store all of your photographs in a safe location, where they can be accessed from any computer with an online connection. Additionally, it allows you to share your photographs with family, friends, coworkers, etc, as well as making them public for all to see. Users can provide feedback on your photos as well.

The tagging system works really well on this website. Its nice how others can tag your photos, which will only help the searchability of your photos, thus gaining exposure to your photography. Another good feature is the groups you can join and create. You can create groups of friends and family that you can share and comment on each others work with.

I personally don't use Flickr. Despite it's many advantages and useful features, I find it easier to use Facebook for this because my network is much larger and it's just easier to use one site for both social networking and photo sharing.
