What is Flickr?
Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform.
It was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications. In addition to being a popular Web site for users
to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.
Its popularity has been fueled by its organization tools, which allow photos to be tagged and browsed
by folksonomic means. As of November 2007, it claims to host more than 2 billion images.
