Flickr (almost certainly the best application around the world to manage and share photos on line) has two main objectives:
They want to help people make their photos available to people who care. Perhaps they want to keep a blog of moments captured in his camera phone, or perhaps want to show one of his best pictures to the whole world in an attempt to achieve fame and cybersecurity. Or maybe they want to share pictures of their children with their families in other parts of the country with security and privacy. ¡Flickr makes possible all these things and many more!
To achieve this, they put pictures inside and outside the system in every way that we can, from the Web, from mobile devices, from PCs from users and from any software they are using to manage their photos. And they want to make them come to light in every possible way: on the website Flickr, RSS (really simple Distribution), email them published on blogs outside, or in ways that they have not yet thought of.
Flickr wants to enable new ways of organizing photos. Once you switch to digital, it is too easy to be amazed with the huge number of photos you take with that restless trigger finger. The albums, the main means by which people organize your pictures today are great. Operated well in the days to be revealed in the film, but the metaphor of “album” desperately needs to retire and move into a home for the elderly.
Part of the solution is to make the process of organizing photos to be cooperative. In Flickr, you can give permission to friends, relatives and other contacts to organize your photos (not just to add comments, but also notes and tags). For people to be admired, laugh, mourn and make jokes when sharing photos. Why not give him the opportunity to do this when they look on the Internet? And as all this information is combined with the photos as metadata, later you can find them much more easily, because this information also can be searched.
Thats why Flickr is revolutionary nowadays in the pictures and photos world.
