Flickr-More than Photo Sharing


Signing up for Flickr was really easy. In fact, we didn't really have to sign up at all. We just used our Yahoo! ID to log in and our account was there waiting for us. Once we were logged in, uploading photos and using the Flickr features was fast and efficient.

While there were really no "frills" involved with using the Flickr account, it is a great site for the basic upload and sharing of photos.We found out that Flickr is one of the largest photo sharing services on the Web. The Flickr website is designed to be more like a community site than a commercial photo service – think MySpace meets photo sharing. This site is great for you social networkers, but may not be the best photo sharing service for families.

  • Upload photos from your cell phone.
  • Interactive maps let you show the location of where your photos were taken and browse for other photos taken near yours.

6Star Reviews thought Flickr was very easy to use, but somewhat plain when compared to other photo sharing services. Customer support leaves room to be streamlined. We did receive an email response almost immediately, but we were left searching for non-existent phone support. At a price of $24.95, Flickr had some of the best photo sharing service prices. Overall, a good service receiving 5.0 stars!
