It is the GROUPS that make Flickr the place to be, if you want to do more than show some pics to your buds and family members. Groups are the showcase for quality images. You could search individual sites from now til doomsday and maybe find a few nice pics--go to a group and you'll see images from top imaging artists world wide displayed next to images from aspiring amateurs. And you may not be able to tell the difference between the amateur and the professional. Want to check out one great group. Better Than Good. Great variety, top quality, a little bit of an edge while not going into the offensive category. Happy viewing.

Not many people are aware of this I know but it is out there somewhere. I'd say 3.3 billion is a conservative estimate. Facebook photos made me stop going out with my housemates last year and bred in me an utter hatred of cameras generally which I didn't have before. This is because whereas people used to take pictures at special moments, now they take them every single minute so they can upload them to Facebook, and as everyone has a camera that means you and/or the people you're talking to/dancing with will be dragged into a huddle to gurn moronically at the soulsnatcher on average every five seconds. F**k Facebook. @22: If that’s your idea of titillation then you do realise the Internet has a fair amount of actual pornography?

Shows that they really provide value to the user. I like Flickr. Their business model seems to be clean and working out well for them. It can't really fail, as a picture says more than a thousand words. Browsing pictures is a lot of fun, and although there are a lot of picures which lack quality (including my own), I'm amazed at the beauty of some of them out there. Well done Flickr.
