Explore Flickr and learn about this popular image hosting site

What are some ways that you can use Flickr or other photo-sharing site both professionally and personally?

I have been using Flickr for a while now to share personal photos with friends & family. While I can see the advantages professionally for finding & sharing images, plus eg. using for guided tours of libraries - I am much more of a 'textual' person.

What was your favorite Flickr capability - blogging, geotagging, exploring, groups, etc.?Add a geotag to you photo.

I like the integration with other tools such as Facebook & blogs; finding 'friends' is excellent although limited, as they have to sign up to a Yahoo account, as opposed to eg. 'Fotki'; similarly with geotagging - limited to 'Yahoo Maps'.

What group(s) did you join?
