Have you ever had one of those days where you had a many years worth of photos on your hard drive thinking they would be safe forever and then your hard drive goes Kaput and all your photos are gone forever?

Yeah, been there done that and boy was I crushed.  After that wonderful moment happened to...

I joined the site and as soon as I did my computer started having problems. The 2 dots that show up in front of the address were on every websites address, if not the 2 dots then it was just the wrong icon in general. To this day I still catch this problem occurring every so often. Also my desk tops... read full review »

Flickr is a fun boredom-buster.  It's fun to browse all the wonderful pictures.  But, be careful, it's easy to get carried away and spend hours wrapped up in fascination when you should be working. 

When I first heard about Flickr I was afraid it would be no fun to look at.  I thought that a site where anyone could upload pictures of anything would be full of boring low-quality snapshots that I wouldn't care to peruse.  I envisioned a bigger version of people's myspace picture albums.  It's not like that at all.  It's not thousands of teenage girls shooting pics of themselves and their...

I grew up in a photography-filled household and knew my f-stop from my DOF at a young age...recently, I started reading more and more about digital photography and then discovered Flickr. The groups on Flickr (and there's at least one group for just about any photography topic you can name) are full of really friendly people who either know the answer to my questions, or can easily direct me to websites and other resources.

I love "Explore" area of the site, where new shots are featured each day. Explore "Explore" is all I can say.

Anybody can sign up for a Flickr page for free, and can upload...

I am an online journal user, and I found Flickr through other online journal users in my community.  I've used Snapfish before, and KodakGallery. . . all the familiar ones.  I find that my biggest need is not printing photography, but storing photography.  A lot of the standard photo storage sites require purchase. . . and there's no real sharing of photos.  Meaning, I could only store my own albums, but I couldn't see what others were doing.  It just got boring.

 When I first started using Flickr, I really wasn't sure what to do with it.  It didn't take long before I *really* got into it--not...

I like Flickr because of the easy uploads, the storage capacity and the easy way to share your photos with others.  Also, being able to mark photos or albums as private so that only you can see them, makes me feel more confident of uploading family photos to a public website.

Photos on Flickr can be viewed in a larger format than some other photo sites. You can actually see a screen size shot or slideshow instead of some of the smaller displays that other sites have.  Also there is the option for others to download a photo if you give the permissions. That's a nice feature.

Don't use this program.  Flickr gives little memory for free.  Even when you pay for extra memory they limit the number of images you can share.  You cannot send just the URL's to you albums, you cannot share more than one album, you cannot share a collection, you cannot share more than 200 images and if you find this out after you paid for the extra memory you are out of luck, they have a NO-REFUND policy in the fine print that you can easily miss.  All-in-all I am not happy

I can only say good things about Flickr! I love this site! It is PERFECT for storing your photographs, and sharing them as well! It's a great community for photographers-amateurs and professionals as well! It is FREE, although you can upgrade for a small price! (Which I have-and do every year!)
I also love that I can link to my photos on Flickr from my blog! A+ photo site!

Ever since I downloaded the flicker program, I keep getting other peoples pics on my computer.  Now this is what it's supposed to be, a shared pic program, but you can't be choosy...it downloads them all!!!  Many great picks, but I don't want them as part of my "family" album!

I had a friend tell me about flir and I feel in love with it. I just recentainly made a birthday present for my mom. I had a black and white picture and had it fade out a little bit and then added nana's angels and she feel in love with it. I also love the idea that you can add about everything that you want to a picture. You can put eye color in there or you can change a picture from color to black and white to sephia to just making the background blurry. I also love the idea that you can add text and little things like hearts and things like that. So now I have something to give something to...

Flickr is a great service if you don't upload too many photos and are able to keep your count under 200. The problem is that it's really easy to get hooked in. Before you know, it you're uploading all the pics from your last vacation. You've started organizing them into albums, tagging them and placing them on Google maps based on where they were taken. Yes these features are really cool, but once you've met the 200 limit, you're pretty much stuck paying $25 for the subscription to use them. Every year. What happens if you don't? Flickr hides all but the last 200 pictures until you pay again. I'm... read full review »

Flickr to me has grown over the last few years in quality and ownership. Flickr Is part of the Yahoo Group. Ive been a member for quite some time and have an lot of fun, met quite a few people with the same interests. Some of these people now also belong to other sites with me. I find its easy to use interface to upload plus the are many widget like tools you can use at other sites to show you pictures posted at Flickr...

Flickr is a terrific site to upload all your best photos and organize them in any way you choose. You can also copy (share) the best of other people's photos in a section called favorites adding even more beauty and excitement to your site. There is really no limit to what you can do. Try it, you'll love it!
