Flickr is a Web2.0 Application and an online community where you can share photos and web service suites. You can use Flickr to share photos, but you can also use it as a blogger by using short blogs for your photo tags. Flickr has grown in popularity due to the fact you can tag photos, which can then be browsed using keywords. There are close to, if not more than, 1 million photos currently in Flickr now. This community was created by Ludicorp in Vancouver Canada, and launched in February of 2004. It was originally created for the MMOPG Neverending but was shelved when Flickr caught on by a multitude of other users.

Yahoo now owns Ludicorp and Flickr, the change caused all the information and photos there to being ruled by US federal law. In 2006, due to a serious need for more space by users, the upload limit was increased from 20 MB to 100 MB for free users and up to 2 GB for pro users. When Yahoo acquired Flickr, members were required to associate their accounts with a Yahoo ID.

Getting started with Flickr is simple enough and can be done in a few simple steps. Hit Sign Up and log in with your Yahoo ID, or if you are already logged into Yahoo, it will prompt for you to verify your password. That’s it, you are done. Once logged into your Flickr account, upload your photo and read the community guideline. After this simply begin exploring Flickr.

Using Flickr as part of your marketing plan is utilizing the value of a photograph. Here you can store important images such as your company logo and then tag it to create a market strategy. You can also use it to help your marketing team by keeping all your images in one location. Flickr is designed as an online photo manager and anyone Webmaster or anyone involved in Internet marketing will tell you that management and organization is a very real key to success.

Your images can be uploaded from your computer, sent in an email, or through your camera phone, or straight from your desktop using free third­party programs. You can create collections or sets to make a presentation from photos only, and add tags to them to make the show easier to find. If there are photos you want to share while others are private or for your customers only, you can use the group and privacy controls to determine which ones you share. If your business is based in a central location, you can take photos and then put them in your Flickr account, and let people know where they were shot. This will generate interest around your location as other photos taken from there are viewed. If you have a blog, you can even attach photos to it from your Flickr account.

Every good business needs a real marketing campaign and one of those is creating media kits, such as cards, photo books, framed prints, DVDs and more. You can create all of these marketing tools using your Flickr account and then have them either shipped to your home or for pickup at your local Target Store. This is currently only available in the United States. Plus keeping in touch has never been easier? you can talk to family, friends, and business partners all while sharing your photos.

By joining one of the many groups on Flickr, you can get together with people and businesses that share your interests or can reach a common goal together. It does not matter who you are and what you offer, you will find a group that fits your needs, and if not or you are looking for something more, simply start your own group.

Using Flickr as part of your Internet marketing or as a Webmaster simply makes good sense. No more worrying about your computer going down and you losing photos, or being on a different computer and needing one certain image. By using Flickr, you will have access to them all with a few keystrokes and a click or two of your mouse.
