Flickr.com was developed in 2002 in Canada and is now owned by Yahoo. It is now the easiest and most popular means of sharing photos online. Flickr did not invent online photo sharing, but they did invent a method called “tagging.” It lets the photo owners and viewers put a label on the picture so they can subscribe to in and share it with whomever they please. The use of photo sharing and tagging individuals into pictures created a term called “folksonomy.” This is simply when the viewers of the pictures can comment on the photos.
Flickr.com main enablers that keeps their business running is their specialization is selling photos, finding photos, and being able to stay in touch with family and friends through a social gathering. Since family and friends can’t always be in person with the ones they love, it allows them to not miss a minute of their life and watch kids grow and mature through the use of pictures.
