  Definition(s):

• Flickr Defined: Flickr is a photo sharing website and web services suite, and an online community platform, which is generally considered an early example of a Web 2.0 application. 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 innovative online community tools that allow photos to be tagged and browsed by folksonomic means. (source: Wikipedia)

Suggestions

sg - Your area... 

ks - Book Displays in Libraries Flickr Pool (share/steal great display ideas)

ks - Flickr photo and community reaction to a (warning:very SAD) post about the lost of a pet w/ 59 comments. Good example of flickr community though.

    elw - Kelli, thank you for sharing that (and for the warning). It surely brought me to tears, but what a wonderful way to share happy memories, and the support of the Flickr community must've been so powerful. I'm bookmarking this one.

             ks- a lot of the people who commented are in the library world.  Can also serve as a way to discover their flickr accounts, which often include images from presentations they give, or libraries they visit, or just great photos.
