flickr
So I’m sure at one point or another we’ve all come across flickr, maybe you were searching for a picture in Google images and instead of hitting “save image as” you've accidentally clicked on the picture and boom before you know it… You’ve been linked to flickr.
So what is flickr? flickr is an image hosting and video hosting website, and web services suite that was created by Ludicorp in 2004 and acquired by Yahoo in 2005. In addition to being a popular website for users to share and embed personal photographs, and effectively an online community, the service is widely used by photo researchers and by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media. flickr’s got some pretty neat features that allow users to organise their photos in albums, add tags to photos, descriptions, and also the ability to place photos on a world map (which I think is pretty nifty).
flickr’s done the basics rights with having the privacy settings tightened up (with filtering pictures that are safe, unsafe, restricted) easy enough UI that is aesthetically pleasing.
- So I can't really fault flickr, it’s fulfilled its purpose and overall its a good social media website.
