#5, 6 Flickr.com: the Nice Things

I've been using flickr.com for a while to see my grand children's photos. I also uploaded photos taken in QL colleagues' retiremen parties. what it attracted me for at first is that it allows users not only to view, but to save images onto your local drive (some big company's photo websites only allows to view and order prints!). It is so convenient to share photos with families and friends. After uploading them, you only need to send the flickr address of your pictures for them to enjoy.

Now I find that on flickr.com pictures can be organized in sets by different titles; you can also join a discussion group for common interests and post your ideas; or create your own group. In the "Explore" section, you can see posted photos/pictures by dates/weeks/years; as well as editor-recommended ones. The one I happen to see today is quite interesting; it is an interactive map of Europe scattered with red dots. When you click the dots, a pop-up small window will show scenery pictures of that city/place. It's cool and enjoyable, isn't it.
Another small but useful thing is that if you forgot the dates and time of an event, you can find them by going to "Batch Organize", then click "Edit photo"; it will tell you the time taken and when it was uploaded to flickr.com. It's nice, indeed.
