Hello Flickr
December 2nd, 2004
I’ve once again caught up to the rest of the internet users and established a Flickr account. What is Flickr?
Flickr is the best way to store, sort, search and share your photos online. There is a huge mass of photos in the world, and Flickr provides a way to organize yours, and for you and your friends and family to tell your stories about them.
OK so it’s just a photo sharing site. But it has some cool features beyond what other sites have.
- The feature that initially attracted me to Flickr is the banner at the top of the site. That banner is generated by Flickr and updates whenever I add a new photo.
- There’s a iPhoto plug-in that makes it very easy to transfer photos to Flicker
- It’s free to store photos online, although they do offer a paid account with more bandwidth and capabilities. Free accounts can only upload 10 MB per month, which is about 50 800×600 sized photos. But there is no limit on storage space.
- Flicker has the ability to let one comment on individual photos. This is a very handy feature!
- I’m sure the list goes on and on.
For now I will just add my favorite pictures to Flickr and create my main albums within my blog. Apple should look at this and add some of these features to .Mac.

Did you learn about this from the latest issue of MacWorld? I think I read something about it the other day.
I’m not too crazy about 10MB/month. That’s about two transfers a month. Well, not that I’m always uploading pictures, but I like to keep my options open.
I saw the banner on someone else’s website. Which lead me to signing up.
Looks nice
I registered flickr a while back after seeing it at M* ’s blog. Haven’t gotten around to integrating it though.
