Introduction

Flickr (pronounced "flicker") is an image hosting and video hosting website and web services suite that was created by Ludicorp in 2004 and acquired by Yahoo on March 20, 2005.[3] In addition to being a popular website for users to share and embed personal photographs, and effectively an online community, the service is widely used by photo researchers and by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media.

Educational application and relevance

1. 'Events and Activities' – upload photos of staff and students working together during an event or activity. This could be a sports, field trip, seminar or workshop help in the school.
2. Link this to the school’s 'website or your blog'. Most websites are now based on some form of Content Management Systems (CMS) that will support widgets for Flickr. You can add Flickr widgets to showcase activities, events, artwork, prize winners or school facilities to name a few.
3. 'Proof of Work' – upload images of artwork, work pieces from product design, science experiment outcomes, wood working results, crafts, electronic projects, product prototypes, textile and fashion design, dishes from budding chefs, end products from team building exercises and more.
4. 'Story Telling and Creative Writing' – for English, Literature or any other subject, a group of photos can be a story board that allows students to compose their own story or creative ‘journalism’

Overview of Features

Accounts

Flickr offers three types of account: Free, Ad Free and Doublr.

The free option includes one terabyte of storage limited to 200 MB per photo and 1 GB per video with maximum length 3 minutes.

The Ad Free option allows subscribers to avoid advertisements for an annual fee.

The Doublr account includes twice the storage of a free account.[39] In May 2011, Flickr added an option to easily reverse an account termination, motivated by the accidental deletion of a Flickr user's account, and public reporting of its protracted restoration.[40] Flickr may delete accounts without giving any reason or warning to the account's owner.

Organization

The images a Flickr photographer uploads go into their sequential "photostream", the basis of a Flickr account. All photostreams can be displayed as a justified view, a slideshow, a "detail" view or a datestamped archive. Clicking on a photostream image opens it in the interactive "photopage" alongside data, comments and facilities for embedding images on external websites.

Access control

Flickr provides both private and public image storage. A user uploading an image can set privacy controls that determine who can view the image. A photo can be flagged as either public or private. Private images are visible by default only to the uploader, but they can also be marked as viewable by friends and/or family. Privacy settings also can be decided by adding photographs from a user's photo stream to a "group pool".

Interaction and compatibility

The core functionality of the site relies on standard HTML and HTTP features, allowing for wide compatibility among platforms and browsers; Flickr's functionality includes RSS andAtom feeds and an API that enables independent programmers to expand its services.
