Flickr: It’s Where...

And that’s just the beginning!

Flickr is--

• A free, online photo management and

sharing application

• A photo organizer

• A web 2.0 tool

Uploading to Flickr

There are 5 ways to upload your photos to Flickr

• Via upload webpage

• via the Flickr Uploadr (available for both PC and Mac)

• via iPhoto, Aperture, or Windows XP plugins

• via email

• via various free third-party desktop programs

Once you upload, you can do many things with your photos.

Organize: Sets• Sets--a grouping of photos that you can

organize around a certain theme, such as Our Family Vacation. You can use them to highlight your favorite photos, or make an album that is only pictures of your dog, or of photos you've taken with a particular camera.

Organize: Collections

• Collections are a grouping of Sets (or other Collections) so you can organize around grander themes, such as People, Travels, or by year (2007, 2006, etc).

Flickr: Organizer• The Organizr is where both Collections and Sets

are created. It also allows you to perform common tasks on large batches of photos, such as tagging, changing permissions, or editing timestamps. It’s really rather handy.

Flickr: Sharing

• With millions of users, and hundreds of millions of photos, Flickr is an amazing photographic community, with sharing at its heart.

• Groups are a way for people to come together around a common interest.

• If you can’t find a group which interests you, it’s super-easy to start your own.

• Groups can either be public, public (invite only), or completely private. Every group has a pool for sharing photos and a discussion board for talking.

Flickr Groups

Maps• Flickr's great for exploring photos by photographer,

tag, time, text, and group, and it's also great for exploring photos by place.

• Drag-and-drop your photos onto a map (using the Organizr) to show where you took them, or browse a world map to see where other people have been and what they saw.
