Flickr

In this post, I am going to look at the website Flickr. My class had an assignment to create albums on Flickr. While doing this, I learned about some advantages and disadvantages of this site.
       I'll do the good stuff first. Now, Flickr is a great website that utilizes the Creative Commons. I think it's great that there is a specific photo-sharing website like Flickr where the pictures are available to all without the worry of copyright. Plus, if you post pictures, you won't lose all the rights to it. You can set specific guidelines according to the Creative Commons license you choose.
       Like I said, there are some things that aren't so great about Flickr. First off, the pictures are not what I would call quality, interesting photos. Also, the search engine wouldn't find me or my friend or our pictures and we have no idea why. Another thing I dislike is that I know that there is a map feature you can add to pictures, but I couldn't find it anywhere. For part of our assignment we were supposed to add that, so it made me mad that it was nowhere to be found.
       Well, now you know how I feel about Flickr. I probably won't go on it again because, like I said, I just don't like the pictures. For some reason, they're not that good. Maybe you like it. If so, maybe you'll want to leave me a comment and tell me why. Thanks for reading!
