Get to know Flickr
Flickr is a popular image and video hosting website developed by Ludicorp, a Canadian company which launched Flickr in 2004. Flickr helps users to store, sort, search and share photos online. The website allows members to upload photos, customize albums and publicly posted. The stories of the photos can be added and people can give comments on the stories and photos. One of Flickr features is that it enables users to restrict the privacy. Members can designate viewing of photos for only those they want them to see. An outstanding component among many special features of Flickr is that it can easily connect to other online communities namely Facebook, Twitter, Blogging and Yahoo! Updates. This connection is one of the reasons why Flickr is widely used.
By October 2009, the Flickr web service claims to be a repository of more than 4 billion images!

Hi Ornisa!

Hi,Ornisa
There or numerous of sites that offers free videoconferencing, some or better than others. I will do a post on one soon.
Although Flickr is professed for photos, the site might more properly be described as a location for sharing experiences and building relationship.
