So this flickr, it vibrates? →[More:]I am a total flickr n00b and haven't done a thing with it, although at some time in the past mudpuppie became one of my flickr friends... and also my personal avatar that someone from another board made for me got uploaded at some point.

So.... where do I go from here? What's flickr good for?

Um, hosting your photos?

So can you reference flickr photos from other pages? Like this?

Hmmmm guess so.

This is a completely new toy for me. What are the best features? What do you get with flickr pro?

posted by Doohickie 07 January | 16:57

It's more like this. People see the picture, along with the ability to leave a comment or see your other pictures. Pro gets you the ability to upload more, and to make more than a couple of sets.

How many sets with basic flickr?

posted by Doohickie 07 January | 17:06

Three, iirc.

I just signed up too. I love the snow bunny!

I keep trying to get into Flickr, but don't seem to have sufficient cool factor to manage it.

I found that bunnie just by hitting the Explore button, then hitting "See more interesting photos
from the last 7 days."

Heh... I was trying to find the snow bunny again, but I found this instead:
A whole flickr full of bunnies

You can now log into Flickr if you have a Yahoo! ID.

and not, apparently.
does that go into effect ever or was it someone's panic button gone off?

posted by ethylene 07 January | 23:21

oh and it shouldn't vibrate but user use is high. it's about bandwidth use, not instability.

posted by ethylene 07 January | 23:23

It actually made me combine my accounts under Yahoo, which kind of peaves me, since my Yahoo ID is Doohickie_mecha (someone already got Doohickie)
