Flickr

Flickr was very simple to use. I do like seeing that you could register by logging into Facebook and Google  I wish they had twitter capabilities because Its widely used as well. The upload system was very easy to use and the fact that you could share photos with friends is very beneficial. Like if a newly wed couple wanted to show their family photos while on vacation they could direct them all to their wedding photos post. 

The site is great for people who want to generate any kind of business. For a stylist wanting to show off the work they have done to potential clients they could just seem them to their album of photos. 

Tags are a useful tool because it makes finding related photos for a certain subject easy to find. Flickr gives sharing a whole new look and makes creating photo albums and sets a daily thing that a user would want to do. A person could spend hours searching through other people's photo albums to see how other people live and their adventures. It makes a person's life open for the world to see. This concept isn't new because with Facebook and twitter people tend to tell every aspect of their lives so why not actually show the things that occur as they happen. Personally I wouldn't use these tools for anything but business because I think there is something special about having anonymity when having friends. Kind of like what will you have to talk about in person when you see everything about each other online. The bookmark tag had over 10,000 uploads, search over 90,000, and restaurant over 1,000,000 uploads.
