Flickr - Intersection for People, Photos, and Blogs

I really like the photo sharing website, Flickr.

I know there are lots of different photo websites available and I'll admit I'm not very familiar with any of the other ones, but I'd just like to share why I like Flickr.

• It's FREE! However, I suggest the "Pro" account for $25 / year because it gives you more bandwidth and some other nice capabilities.
• You can Blog straight from Flickr to several sites like Blogger and Wordpress. (unfortunately, not to Activerain) But then, it is a simple process to cut and paste it into Activerain if you want it here, too.
  
• There are specific groups dedicated to bloggers where you can post your images with links to your blog.
• Opportunity - I've already had contact with someone who commented on one of my photos and shared the fact that they were moving to my city!
• Social Networking - Like Activerain, many of the people on Flickr are very sociable, and spend a fair amount of time viewing and commenting on your images.
• You can edit your images right from your photostream using Picnik
  

Be sure and check out:

• Groups,
  
• organizing in Collections and Sets,
  
• Blogging to your outside blog, and
• GeoTagging your images to show where they were taken.

Now, go out there and have some fun with your photos!

Please feel free to take a look at my Flickr site!
