What is Flickr? • Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community. • Its primary goals are: • to help people make photos available to those whomatter to them • to enable new ways of organizing pictures.

Share • Groups are a way for people to come together around a common interest. • On Flickr it’s easy to control who you share your images with.
Maps • Flickr's great for exploring photos and videos by photographer, tag, time, text, and group, and now it's also great for exploring photos and videos by place.
