2. Flickr: It’s Where...
And that’s just the beginning!

3. Flickr is--
• A free, online photo management and
sharing application
• A photo organizer
• A web 2.0 tool

4. Uploading to Flickr
There are 5 ways to upload your photos to Flickr
• Via upload webpage
• via the Flickr Uploadr (available for both PC
and Mac)
• via iPhoto, Aperture, or Windows XP plugins
• via email
• via various free third-party desktop programs
Once you upload, you can do many things
with your photos.

5. Organize: Sets
• Sets--a grouping of photos that you can
organize around a certain theme, such as Our
Family Vacation. You can use them to highlight
your favorite photos, or make an album that is
only pictures of your dog, or of photos you've
taken with a particular camera.

6. Organize: Collections
• Collections are a
grouping of Sets (or
other Collections)
so you can
organize around
grander themes,
such as People,
Travels, or by year
(2007, 2006, etc).

7. Flickr: Organizer
• The Organizr is where both Collections and Sets
are created. It also allows you to perform common
tasks on large batches of photos, such as tagging,
changing permissions, or editing timestamps. It’s
really rather handy.

8. Flickr: Sharing
• With millions of users, and hundreds of
millions of photos, Flickr is an amazing
photographic community, with sharing at
its heart.

9. Flickr Groups
• Groups are a way for people to come
together around a common interest.
• If you can’t find a group which interests you, it’s
super-easy to start your own.
• Groups can either be public, public (invite only), or
completely private. Every group has a pool for
sharing photos and a discussion board for talking.

10. Maps
• Flickr's great for exploring photos by photographer,
tag, time, text, and group, and it's also great for
exploring photos by place.
• Drag-and-drop your photos onto a map (using the
Organizr) to show where you took them, or browse
a world map to see where other people have been
and what they saw.
