The service emerged out of tools originally created for Ludicorp's //[|Game Neverending]//, a web-based [|massively multiplayer online game]. Flickr proved a more feasible project and ultimately Game Neverending was shelved.[|[6]] > media type="youtube" key="jUcZTgIrpqI" height="344" width="425" = = > **__BY: vlf853__**- > > Flickr lets you add up to 75 tags to each picture, so feel free to go wild. If you have a multiword tag such as "Tree House," put quotations around it, otherwise it will get split into two different tags. > > With Flickr you can see photos from around the world. The World Map lets you see exactly where those pictures were taken. It's like a vacation from your computer chair! You can also tag your own photos and place them on a map: perfect for adding reference to your vacation photos. > To contribute your own photos, just click the Send to group button above a picture (just like adding it to a set). You'll then get the option to select whatever group you're a member of in a drop-down list.
 * Flickr is an image and video hosting website. Easier to share personal images between users. Host to more then 3 billion images. Created by Ludicorp in Vancouver that launched in February 2004.
 * Flickr offers a fairly comprehensive web-service API that allows programmers to create applications that can perform almost any function a user on the Flickr site can do.
 * In March 2007, Flickr introduced mandatory filtering of all photos and a process of central review of photos by staff to set levels of appropriateness. By default all Flickr accounts are set to the status appropriate for a minor and must be changed by the user in their account.
 * By default all Flickr accounts are set to the status appropriate for a minor and must be changed by the user in their account. Flickr has since used this setting to change the level of accessibility to "unsafe" content for entire nations, including South Korea, Hong Kong, and Germany . In summer 2007, German users staged a "revolt" over being assigned to the user rights of a minor.
 * Flickr asks photo submitters to organize images using [|tags] (a form of [|metadata]), which allow searchers to find images related to particular topics, such as [|place names] or subject matter. Flickr was also an early website to implement [|tag clouds], which provide access to images tagged with the most popular keywords.
 * Flickr also allows users to organize their photos into "sets", or groups of photos that fall under the same heading.
 * Finally, Flickr offers a fairly comprehensive web-service API that allows programmers to create applications that can perform almost any function a user on the Flickr site can do

For this reason it is often cited as a prime example of the type of Library 2.0 tools librarians should be experimenting with in order to reach new generations of users. > > > You can also tag your own photos and place them on a map: perfect for adding reference to your vacation photos
