Photo+Sharing

Flickr is a photo-sharing site that lets you upload your photos, and make them more interesting to an audience by adding //comments//, //descriptions//, and //tags// to them.

Photos can be grouped in //sets//.

Flickr provides several ways to share your uploaded photos:
 * You can choose to share them with everyone--Flickr calls this sort of sharing //public//.
 * You can create two distinct sharing options called //friends// and //family//. In this case, anyone who is on your friends list, or family list can view the photos.
 * Flickr also allows you to provide both //friends and family// sharing options--these contacts can view photos from either distinction.
 * Finally, if you don't want to share the photos with anyone but yourself--in that case you designate such photos as //private//.

 * 1) If you're up to an easy challenge ... create a Free account in [|Flickr] and use your digital camera to capture a few pictures, upload these to your Flickr account and tag at least one of the images.
