Flickr-- a place to store, organize and share your photos for free

This site allows you to upload your photos, organize them into thematic sets, and share them with friends and relatives. You decide on the privacy level for your photo archive, allowing the world to view your photos, or limiting them to people who know your password. This is a handy site for people who travel a lot and wish to share their photos without having to process them through an email account. Drag-and-drop your photos onto a world map to identify locations where photos have been taken. Explore the world through the public photo archive. Do fun things with your photos, like creating calendars, photo books, and postage stamps. Basic accounts are free, and will enable you to see how the site works. Upgrading to a “pro” account for US$24.95 annually gives you unlimited uploading of photos among other benefits. Flickr is now a Yahoo company, which gives it a measure of stability.
