Happy Birthday Flickr!

Flickr, the digital photo management and sharing site turns 4 years old today and I just wanted to say “Happy Birthday” to one of my favorite online services.

I have 2 Flickr Pro accounts, one for my business-related pics and another that Ed and I share for our travel and personal pictures.

I love Flickr and the more I use the service, the greater my adoration. The mapping feature as depicted in the graphic below is especially neat.

For example, I took the picture of the CF-116A Freedom Fighter shown above left in Kamloops, B.C. However, because many folks won’t know where that is, I added it to the map for their quick reference and it even gives you latitude and longitude coordinates. I absolutely love when others do the same as it improves my overall mental map of an area.

Of course, I also appreciate that Flickr drives traffic to my blog from links placed in relevant photo descriptions… much like the resource box used in article marketing.
