There are many different programs, applications and websites that can be used to manage your photographs. But one of the most popular online tools is "Flickr." Flickr was founded by Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake and there are 50 team members. This program allows you to publicly or privately publish your photos and videos from just about any outlet you can think of to share with as many or as little people as you'd like! Not only does Flickr want you to be able to send and access your pictures with ease but they give you a fool-proof way to organize and search within your photos and videos. You can organize them yourself or you can give family and friends access to organizing them as well. Flickr is kind of like a whole community because you can look at your favorite friends pictures on a sort of feed and they update their blog often for the latest developments. Flickr is a part of "Yahoo," so if you already have an account with Yahoo, then you're all set!
Not only is Flickr a place to upload and organize your photos, but its serves to be multi-functional. You can upload photos from your computer, including e-mail and desktop, and even from your camera phone. There are tons of edits that you can play around with as well to make your pictures fun with different fonts and effects using "Picnik" or you can simply crop and fix red eye. This is also an outlet where you can make things like photo books, DVDs, cards and much more. Another really interesting feature is the maps. This allows you to share where your pictures were taken and then you can search for other pictures from similar areas. A key feature of the "Organizr" is that it allows you to change the privacy on them. You can make one "collection" or "set" private so only you can see them, only selected people can see them or so everyone can see them. Some of the features are also similar to Facebook in that you can tag pictures and get updates on pictures, albums and videos from friends and family!
