Why Flickr Rocks!
First, let me disclose that Yahoo! is my client. But that really doesn’t matter because Yahoo! didn’t do much to make Flickr great. In fact, Yahoo! is very careful to let Flickr be Flickr. I’m convinced that Flickr is the greatest web app … ever. Yes … ever. If you love photographs, it’s hard not to fall in love with Flickr. From a brand perspective, it has a wonderful voice. Colorful, creative, and friendly. Take their guidelines. “Don’t be creepy. You know the guy. Don’t be that guy.” How great is that? But the real value is the way it brings photographers together. I started uploading my photos and joining groups. In no time I was connected to other photographers I really respect. We comment on each others’ photos. It’s wonderful. Even though there is no need, I check my Flickr feed every day. It’s heaven.
