Flickr Group Roundup

So unless you have been living under a rock, you have probably heard about Flickr the photo sharing site. Even if you are not a member, you can check out the cool features such as tags - check out nyc, The Gates, or Idiotarod for a good cross-section of photos in different tags.

Besides tags, Flickr has groups, many of which are as general as Black & White Photography or as specific as The Birdsill Holly Society which are a collection of fire hydrant photos. There are many New York-centric groups, some of which I have found to be quite engaging. Here is a list (in no particular order) of groups which I have found:

How does the descriptive box thingy work? I've seen that and really like it

Well, the "add notes" feature is pretty sweet, and is really the only saving grace with that flash-interface. But basically, you can add notes to any of your photographs, allow others to add notes, and add notes to other people's photographs (if they allowed it). It is really great when you take photos of people and can put a box around their face with their name on it. Also, the "add note" feature extends commentary from you and from everyone else in ways I've never seen before. Tre cool.

I won't admit how long I've been on the photography scene (digital or analog), but will say each day I am impressed with the amount of attention NYC gets. The flickr site is a perfect example.

So now that I've shown how much of a n00b I am, I'll go back and check out some of these groups. =)

Thanks for the links, Randy.
