Website Review by: LexIndica    



Flickr is really a new age revolution like google and Wikipedia. It is an image sharing website owned by Yahoo groups.
When it comes to share images flickr always comes in mind. It has a mind boggling collection of 3 billion photographs. That is really an astronomical number. Nevertheless, due to some unique feature the searching of targeted image has always been easy here.
First of those unique feature is collaborative tagging. When you upload an image, you are asked to tag it. However, there is always a chance of getting it wrong. In collaborative tagging, every user who views image uploaded there can tag it according to his/her wishes. This makes system perfect as many is smarter than sum of its parts.
Then, for blogger and internet article writers, flickr is a God sent place. It is not possible for every writer to get images according to his/her articles. However, one can search those images here at flickr and add accordingly. Since, there are so many options hence chances of relevant image is very high, which will ultimately makes the articles or blogs worthy of bookmarking. However, one must keep this in mind that not all images are free to be used commercial. To look this search with advance options and follow the instructions.
Flickr is a website worth visiting daily. And with the time tested principle of ‘the wisdom of crowd’ it has become a place where relevant data will always be found.
