Why Do You Need Our Help With Flickr?

What is Flickr? Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. It was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications. In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.

Its popularity has been fueled by its organization tools, which allow photos to be tagged and browsed by folksonomic means. As of November 2008, it claims to host more than 3 billion images. Flickr’s functionality includes RSS and Atom feeds and an API that allows independent programmers to expand its services.

The core functionality of the site relies on standard HTML and HTTP features, allowing for wide compatibility among platforms and browsers. Organizr uses Ajax, with which most modern browsers are compliant, and most of Flickr’s other text-editing and tagging interfaces also possess Ajax functionality.

Images can be posted to the user’s collection via email attachments, enabling direct uploads from many cameraphones and applications with email capabilities.

Flickr has increasingly been adopted by many web users as their primary photo storage site, especially members of the weblog community. In addition, it is popular with Macintosh and Linux users, who are locked out of photo-sharing sites that require Windows and Internet Explorer.

Flickr uses the Geo microformat on the pages for over 3 million geotagged images.

Flickr partners with third parties to offer streamlined printing of various forms of merchandise, including business cards, photo books, and large size prints.

Users of Windows Live Photo Gallery now have the ability to upload their photos directly to Flickr.
