SOCIAL: recommendations for photo sites

[Willo O'Brien]

I absolutely LOVE Flickr. I've been on there since July '04, so it  
serves more purpose than just hosting my photos & vids... it's my  
community, where most all my friends are, too. Beyond that, though, it  
integrates well in various other ways, i.e. publishing to Facebook,  
creating a slideshow on my blog (Wordpress), easily posting mobile  
phone photos there (via email), that automatically tweet the short  
link to them (example), etc.

Oh & recently 7x7 even spotted one of my photos there & I was  
published in the mag!

IMO it's completely worth every penny for just $24.95/year.

Hey, and the holidays are here... give the gift to your Flickr lovin'
