flickr Reviews Summary

Flickr's reputation is mixed, with customers praising its platform for photo sharing and quality, particularly for photography enthusiasts. Many users appreciate the site's organizational features and image protection. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, particularly in account management and support responsiveness. Issues such as account deletions without clear explanations, forced upgrades, and inadequate recovery options for lost photos have led to frustration among users. Overall, while Flickr remains a favored tool for some, its customer service shortcomings and perceived corporate greed have tarnished its image.

Flickr.com is a site where you can post your photos. They give you the option of making your content private or public. The site also has groups that you can join and you can post photos onto the group page or start your own group. I find the search for photos and groups to be a bit of a pain because it doesn't offer enough options to narrow down results. Overall, this is a great site to share and view pictures.

Ive been a member of Flickr for 5+ years. Great site, millions of images. The "community" aspect of Flickr - "friends, followers etc" has eroded a bit over the years - probably due to Facebook. There are several excellent iPad apps that access Flickr to get wallpapers etc.

Flickr is the top for online photo management. It is good for showing off your favourite photos and videos. You can even make photos private so only your family can view them. There are lots of apps to customise your viewing.
On the downside the free account only allows 200 pics.
Overall If you want to upload photos this is the site to use.

I use Flickr all the time and have spent the $ to be a "pro" user. For the most part think it's a great service. The only reason I don't "love" it is I find the Organize section to be a bit cumbersome. There's always a bit of a learning curve when I go there to do mass editing/tagging/etc.

This is a terrific free to join site for photographers at any level. Privacy settings are really good, lots of groups to join and friends to make. This site has the best copyright and download protection for photos. It is the BEST site on the Internet for Free Photos in their extensive 'Creative Commons' - genuine sharing by people of great talent. The galleries are really good, and you can link your flickr gallery to your website. Its well styled and easy to navigate round as a user or a visitor.

Some of the best photographs are available on this site. Most are just for viewing and sharing, but you can even download some pictures to print. Very cool.

I never saw the appeal of flickr but people kept sending me their photos through flickr so I finally joined. Very well thought out design of a website. It has a simplicity to it that just can't be beat. There is not much more I can say about this site that other reviewers have not already pointed out but just take my word for it and join this site, upload your photos and share :)

I put all of my photos on flickr to share with family and friends. The main reason I like it is that I can easily share photos with those relatives who have ZERO computer knowledge. I sent a link to my flickr account to my 70 aunt and she figured it out. I have tried that with other photo sharing sites and she was not able to navigate the site. My 70 year old aunt is my litmus test on how easy it is to navigate a website... if she can do it, anyone can do it.

Yeah I like flicker too they have the easy picnic tool you can use to edit your photos into artsy fartsy stuff or make you look better in photos for free. But if you want the premium stuff you have to pay for it. I totally dig it over photobucket.

Flicker review

Flicker review - seems to have a little of everything. With more investigation I'm sure I will be a return user. Will there be a photo post?

Photographs...
February 9, 2009

Photographs... Ultimate sharing - There are photo sharing websites that are popping up everywhere. Some that have been around for several years and some that are new on the scene. I have used a couple and still have several accounts out there. The website that I enjoy the most (in my opinion) is www.Flickr.com. There are two different types of accounts that you can choose from, a free account that will let you try out flickr for awhile if your not sure about spending money... limited uploads, and there is the pro account, pay a small annual amount and get unlimited uploads.

I enjoy the versatility of the people that you meet and the different critiques on your work. I have met professional photographers down to just beginning photo-takers. Take a peek and see what you think. :)

Share your Photos! - This is certainly one of the better online photo sharing applications. The privacy features of this site is definitely superior to its competitors. However, it is not a very good photo management application. It can be difficult and cumbersome to use.
