Flickr : Cool photos sharing site and more...

Recently stumbled upon this site flickr. It is one of the coolest photos sharing site I have ever seen. You will feel like you are using a desktop application when you go into their website. They are heavily using the latest web technology, which was pioneered by Google, called Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript XML). Typing description or title for the photos are a breeze.

The layout is neat and simple. They also a desktop based downloader which does not just uploading but resizing, title and description addition etc. Really intelligent stuff.

You can create sets of photos. You can make them private - only for people you know or public - for everyone.

You can share these photos with your own website, if you have as a normal photos or Flash. The photo management section is really the best part of all. You can do batch edit of titles, descriptions, permission, rotation and few effects etc.

Sharing with your people is easy as well as you can maintain list of contacts or groups of contacts.

lastly, a third party website offers paid services to make the photos as DVD presentation etc...
and so many other features...just check out...and you will explore more... than I did...
