What is Flickr? What are the functions and services of Flickr?

Flickr is a photo storage and video hosting website. In 2004, Ludicorp established a web service suite and online community (the predecessor of Flickr), and Yahoo acquired Flickr in 2005. In addition to allowing users to store personal photos, Flickr can also share pictures on blogs and social media.

What functions and services does Flickr have?

Image Services

Flickr provides comprehensive, first-class and efficient image services, including image uploading and storage, classification, tagging, image search, etc. First of all, of course, you still have to register and log in. A more complicated task is to fill in your profile.

Uploading pictures is very simple. After entering your home page, click Upload to enter a new page. Select the pictures you want to upload on your computer and then click the "Upload" button. After uploading, it will ask you to add a title (Title, which will be displayed above the picture), a description (Description, which will be displayed below the picture), and a tag (Tag, which is used for indexing and searching) to each picture. Next, you can classify these pictures (i.e. create a group [Set]). Click "Organizr" at the top of the home page to enter a new page. Click "Create a New Set" in the lower right corner to create a new group, then drag the pictures from the left to the specified group, and click Save. It should be noted that free users can currently create multiple groups, and the size of the uploaded pictures cannot exceed 300M per month, and only 200 pictures can be displayed. Paid users (about 2 US dollars per month) can upload 1G of pictures per month, with unlimited grouping. The search for pictures is very simple, so I won't go into details here.

Contact Service

This service allows you to add contacts, who can be friends or family members. The advantage of adding contacts is that you can make more friends and organize the pictures of these friends in a regular way for easy browsing, communication and sharing.

Group Service

The group service allows users to join a group or create a new group and serve as an administrator. In the group, everyone can chat, share pictures, knowledge, send emails, etc. just like on a BBS.

You can join a group by: 1. Directly select the groups listed at the bottom of the group service page, and after entering the group, select "Join this Group" on the right. 2. Search for groups by entering relevant keywords, find the appropriate group and enter it, then click "Join this Group" on the right side of the page to join. 3. Enter someone's Profile page, click on the group he joined, and then choose to join.

In addition, you can also create a new group yourself, the method is also very simple. Click "Create a New Group" on the group service page, enter the new page, and follow the relevant system prompts to complete the creation of the group [I also tried to create one myself, Chinese Mutual Association]. In addition, you will become the administrator of the self-created group (Administrator), with the authority to kick people out, block, etc. After creating your own group, you can also invite your contacts to join.
