Flickr

[|Flickr] is an online photo management and sharing application. Yahoo bought Flickr in 2005, so users can log in with a yahoo ID. The sharing of brand space between the two seem to be in conflict – Flickr offers personal space – whereas yahoo is a huge, world-encompassing site.


 * Features**
 * Easy upload of photos from a computer, camera phone, or email
 * Organize photos by tagging or making collections

 * Share where the photos were taken – tag by photographer, time, text
 * Create photo books, calendars, postage stamps, or DVD-slideshows
 * Add people as Friend or Family or both


 * Limitations**
 * User interface takes time getting used to for new users
 * Privacy settings confusing for new users
 * The free basic account allows access to only 200 most recently uploaded photos
 * Flickr allows displays at less than 1 megapixel. This means that a regulator 4X6 photo would be a little blurry


 * Price**
 * The basic account is free
 * The one year pro account is $24.95 that offers users unlimited storage, uploads, and bandwidths, permanent archiving, and ad-free browsing
 * The one year pro account is $47.99
