Flickr

I like Flickr. (Flickr happens to be Thing 8.)

I've used it to find photos to accompany staff event invitations (I'm quite skilled at searching for images of food...the advanced search is easy to use).

I created an account a while back for personal photos (I've kept the photos private (limited to friends and family), so no link), but I haven't really kept it up. It's hard enough to find the time to download the pictures from the camera (last time, I removed 600 pictures that were taken over a few months), much less name and upload and tag them. But, there are over 150 pictures in my account, and when I just visited there, I was reminded about how many things you can do with the photos...tag, edit, organize, comment, share, save to delicious.

My sister-in-law uses Shutterfly to post her pictures. She's got thousands of photos up there in a few different albums. We just got a holiday card from a child in Serena's class that was made through Shutterfly. Turned out really well.

SLA is planning to use Flickr to digitize photos in our archive so we can more easily access them and share them with members.
