Flickr by Brooke Keough

I have definately heard of Flickr, however I really didn't know much about it until now. Flickr was launched in February 2004 and has become one of the most popular online photo and video storing and sharing programs available on the web and it is used world wide. It's completely free to set up a basic flickr account and begin uploading your pictures. You can get a pro account for only $24.95 a year, and be able to upload any GB amount to your account. Flickr is a great online tool to easily upload, edit, share, organize, create photo items, and keep in touch with family and friends.

It's a fun website to go exploring!


 * __Pros__**
 * There's no storage limit for your photos. You can basically upload as many pictures as you want, as long as you do not exceed the 2 GB's per month.
 * The cost of a pro account is only $24.95 per year, to be able to exceed the 2 GB's per month.
 * You can edit photo titles, tags, & easily create photo sets.
 * Visitors to your flickr accound can comment on your photos and watch your photo sets in a slideshow.
 * If you're looking to get your photos noticed by others, it's a very well known and widely used service.
 * You can choose to make what photos you would like to remain private and which photos you would like to share to the world
 * You can joins groups to share photos with people of similar interests
 * There's blogging options, and you can incorporate your photos into them too.

__**Cons**__
 * You do have to pay to have a pro account and be able to upload your photos in their original quality. (The pro to this, is that it's only $24.95 a year)
 * It's easy for visitors to steal the public photos.

As you can clearly see, Flickr, is a wonderful online tool to use, and I could not find much that is wrong with it. I can see why so many people choose Flickr for their site of choice to add pictures, blog, and communicate with friends, family and the rest of the world.
