flickr

Flickr is a photo hosting Web site which grew from developments Ludicorp made for use in a Massively Mulitplayer Online Role-Playing Game called Game Neverending. The game was canceled, but the photo hosting service evolved to become a major pillar of Web 2.0, the Internet movement supporting collaboration and creativity.

Flickr launched in February 2004, and since then it has grown to host more than 3 billion photos. In March of 2005, Yahoo! bought out Flicker and Ludicorp and moved their headquarters from their original home in Vancouver to California. Since then, Flickr has started supporting a limited video upload function.

In addition to providing users with the ability to share their photographs with friends, family, and the Internet at large, bloggers often use Flickr as a place to host images that enhance their blog pages.

  Gut, ich kann mich natürlich einfach hinstellen und Häuser, Straßen und Menschen abknipsen. Mach ich zwar auch, aber auf Dauer find ich das absolut langweilig. Blumen und Insekten finde ich jetzt nicht soo spannend, und mangels Haustieren fallen Bilder von Hunden und Katzen auch aus dem Programm. Mein ...
