Thing 11: Photo Sharing

Some of the most popular photo hosting and sharing sites are:
Photobucket http://www.photobucket.com
Picasa http://picasa.google.com
SmugMug http://www.smugmug.com/
Flickr, http://www.flickr.com, is a free photo and video sharing social network owned by Yahoo!. Flickr allows users to upload, edit, organize, share, tag and place photos on an interactive world map (commonly referred to as "geo-tagging").

As a social network, Flickr offers users to create and join groups where they can share their photos with other members of that group as well as post discussion topics and comments.

Flickr Details

  • Requires a Yahoo! ID to log in.

  • Users can edit their uploaded photos using an web application known as "Picnik."
  • Flickr has open-sourced bits of their code to allow third party developers the ability to create interesting Web applications using your uploaded Flickr photos.
  • Flickr has partnered with various third party print shops that provide simple printing solutions for any of your Flickr photos.
  • Flickr photos are automatically copyrighted with all rights reserved. Flickr offers users Creative Commons licensing as well.
