Bah! I did not like using Flickr! First thing's first, it really irritated me that I had to create a Yahoo account to even get started reviewing anything within the program. I did not have a Yahoo account until this point and I will likely delete my account after the need for Flickr is gone.
That being said, it was easy enough to add photos to Flickr; the download agent simply allows the user to drag and drop their pictures to be uploaded. It was easy enough to view the pictures I had downloaded, but I had to do some investigating to see how to tag them and to find how to review the other images with the same tags. I did not see this as being very new user friendly but then, I am not used to this software because I usually do not have a need for it. When I did find out how to search for the tags noted in my photos, it came out with thousands of images. All three of my images were tagged with Web 2.0; in addition, one was tagged with Collective Intelligence, and one was also tagged with user control. If this was something more concentrated, I imagine I could be lost looking at photos all day - as I have done numerous times within the world of Pinterest - but with such a broad spectrum and anything tagged with anything, I feel I could have just Googled the tag words and received a better, focused, group of images.
