Flickr is one of best photo management and sharing services. It offers a place to upload, organize and share photos with others. It is a cross-platform application for both PCs and Macs. With Flickr, you can upload photos and organize them by creating Set, Collection and Organizr and share photos by building your groups and controlling the privacy level.

While the pro account allows you to upload 2GB photos monthly. There is no limitation on storage, bandwidth, photosets as well. You can archive high-resolution original photos, replace a photo, view and share photos without any ads.
Through Flickr, you can manage your uploaded photos by categorizing them with different level: sets, collections and organizr. Sets are a group of photos with a common thing, such as Our China Trip, Pictures of My Son, Pictures Taken on my Wedding, etc. Try to find something in common from you photos and create a set for them. On Flickr, you can view all photos in a set as a photo slideshow. Collections are composed of sets. That to say, you may find grander common things from all your sets and then create a Collections for them. The Organizr is where both Collections and Sets are created. You are able to perform common tasks in batch mode, such as tagging, changing permissions and editing timestamps.
Sharing is the heart of Flickr. On Flcikr, you can join in groups with a common interest or start your own group. Groups can either be public, invite only, or completely private. Every group can share photos and make discussions. Flickr offers a way to find and view photos you are interest in. With Ficlkr, you can easily control the privacy of your photos so that only those with your permissions can view yours photos. At the same time, you can also protect your photos from being copied.
Another features impressed us most is the Map and Stuff on Flickr. With the Map, you can share where you take the photos with others. And then drag and drop you photos onto a map and find what else photos taken at the same place. You can do more about your photos except upload and sharing. By using services offered by Flickr, you can enjoy your photos on more funny way, such as making photos to cards, books and stamps.
