Flickr

This application reminded me of an online photo album or scrapbook that you can share with family or friends through the internet. Flickr allows you to connect your account to facebook, twitter or your blog creating real-time updates of photo streams or photoblogs. Although, I didn't create an account I took the tour and discovered that this online application allows you the opportunity of importing many pictures from your phone, browser, desktop or email with the intention of organising them into albums/ sets and then organising those album/ sets into collections so you can keep all family photos together and all friend photos together if you wish.

Flickr is not restricted to just photos of your family and friends. Flickr allows you to explore photos of current events, places, the commons (greatest photography archives), and galleries (photos of interests/ fascinations). 

Flickr is full of surprises... It also allows you to become apart of groups. These groups can have the same interests/ fascinations as you or not. Flickr allows you to connect with their ten- million plus groups. The application also has a companion blog with daily postings informing you of the new additions to Flickr.

Flickr takes it that extra step by allowing you to create those special items with your photos, like album covers, coffee mugs, albums, key rings and the list goes on. This online application allows you the opportunity to edit your photos using a recommended application called Picnik. 

This online application just amazes me, as it allows you to do so much within the one application. I am becoming very surprised and amazed about the capability of online applications.
