Using Flickr
Creating a Flickr account was quite quick and easy, but requires a Yahoo! ID. I think this will save time for people who already have a Yahoo! ID; however, as I did not have one, I had to sign up.
After registering, I found uploading pictures was quite quick and a similar process to the MySpace photo upload – a process many school children would be familiar with! It just involved searching for the file(s) on my computer and then adding a few custom tags and descriptions.
I like the idea of other people being able to view each other’s pictures and being able to comment. The option to set images to ‘private’ is also a good idea. Flickr helps to make a much greater range of images available on the Internet, especially for categories that may not be as popular as others. It also means that people do not require skills in creating a website and then hoping Google Images or Yahoo! Images one day finds their pictures for other people to view.

Wow! You offer exceptional insight into the difficulties and perils of negotiating ones way through the Flixtr signup process. The depth of your analysis recalls the simple brilliance of the writings of Mr WordPress when he stated ” this is a comment”. I do hope you continue to post because already the world has been deprived of your wisdom too long.
