We used to be big fans of **Flickr** -- [] -- the user-generated photography website which launched in February 2004. This pioneering social web site rewards interaction and offers access to Creative Commons-licensed images. There are some gripes we address below as pet peeves, but on the whole, Flickr is our old-school social web darling.


 * Breaking (March 2017): Aviary Upgrade** The edit photo feature on the Flickr photo page is currently disabled pending an upgrade. The older version of Aviary that was being used unexpectedly stopped working recently, and Adobe is working with us to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of Aviary. This means that after a brief delay (while we get the update in place), you’ll have access to a more stable, more feature rich photo editor to complement your Flickr experience! Sorry for the inconvenience of this unexpected upgrade, but we’re confident it will be worth the wait.

Essay
Ron Mader: Is there a 10 million+ view club on Flickr? I don't want to brag, but I'd like to think this means something outside my own head. I just passed the marker this week and [|odometer-watcher that I am], I took a double take. Ten million sounds like a lot of lot of lots, incomprehensible in what this means. Beyond the fantastic number, I'm proud to say that my albums are a mix of thoughtful photos and imaginative artwork created on the fly. My entire notion of photography has changed thanks to the social web. For most of my life, photos were analog film. I work with the generation that tries to take the perfect photo instead of trying multiple times to get the action into focus and framed. Our best choices are made from a selection instead of capturing the one perfect moment, don't want to waste the film, hey wait there is no film to waste. I'm limited to 500 billion images on Flickr. How is this a thing? 500 Billion photos?

Flickr, Parks and Wildlife [|Spatial and Temporal Dynamics and Value of Nature-Based Recreation, Estimated via Social Media Laura J. Sonter, Keri B. Watson, Spencer A. Wood, Taylor H. Ricketts]

Conserved lands provide multiple ecosystem services, including opportunities for nature­based recreation. Managing this service requires understanding the landscape attributes underpinning its provision, and how changes in land management affect its contribution to human wellbeing over time. However, evidence from both spatially explicit and temporally dynamic analyses is scarce, often due to data limitations. In this study, we investigated nature­based recreation within conserved lands in Vermont, USA. We used geotagged photographs uploaded to the photo­sharing website Flickr to quantify visits by in­state and out­of­state visitors, and we multiplied visits by mean trip expenditures to show that conserved lands contributed US $1.8 billion (US $0.18–20.2 at 95% confidence) to Vermont’s tourism industry between 2007 and 2014. We found eight landscape attributes explained the pattern of visits to conserved lands; visits were higher in larger conserved lands, with less forest cover, greater trail density and more opportunities for snow sports. Some of these attributes differed from those found in other locations, but all aligned with our understanding of recreation in Vermont. We also found that using temporally static models to inform conservation decisions may have perverse outcomes for nature­based recreation. For example, static models suggest conserved land with less forest cover receive more visits, but temporally dynamic models suggest clearing forests decreases, rather than increases, visits to these sites. Our results illustrate the importance of understanding both the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecosystem services for conservation decision­making. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2016/09/12/flickr-data-reveals-1-8-billion-value-vermonts-conservation-areas-study-says.html

Background
For those people who do not fancy themselves a photographer, remember that the top-selling camera these days is a cellphone.

The bottom line is that if we really want greener, more responsible travel, then we might want to take a bit more time taking pictures that plant the seed of a really good story.

Consider your descriptions and how you might encourage others to post meaningful comments. This can only take place if we engage with locals and vice-versa. Listen to the locals tell their stories! Ask what they think you should take a photo. Pose for their cameras! If we want responsible tourism, we need to document the times when things are mutually beneficial.

Fave a photo! The star system is a great way of providing encouraging positive feedback. Are you planning a trip? Then fave the photos of the places you'd like to see and the food and drink you'd like to sample!

Participating in Flickr can be a lively, interactive experience. Encourage people who take splendid photos by adding stars (favorites) or by posting positive comments on the photos you enjoy. You can even gather pics you like into a [|gallery] of your own creation. Galleries allow you to select up to 18 public photos or videos of your fellow members in one place.

Sharing
http://www.flickr.com/account/sharing

Pinterest (May 2012)
[|Flickr & Pinterest] You can now find a "Pinterest" button in the share menu to easily "pin" everything that you can share via Flickr, including photo pages, favorites, and groups. If you pin a lot, the share menu will act smartly and prioritize the Pin It button, showing it as one of the two shortcuts on the photo page. If a photographer does not want their content to be shared, the share menu will be disabled making the Pinterest option unavailable as well. Please check Flickr's [|FAQ] and [|a thread in the help forum]

Flickr Q&A

 * What is Flickr?** - [|Flickr] is a website that allows users to store, sort, search and share photos online.


 * What is your top tip? -** When you register on Flickr, write down your ID and password.


 * Can I put my Flickr photos on my website?** - Yes! You can configure a dynamic [|badge] of Flickr photos to add to your website. The badge -- a widget -- generates the code that you can embed on your own website. What I like most is the 'random' generator that selects different pics each time a page is loaded. I use this a lot on Planeta.com, starting with the markets in Oaxaca -- http://www.planeta.com/ecotravel/mexico/oaxaca/oaxmarkets.html -- in which I wanted to be inclusive. I generally use the HTML badge as I don't find the Flash appealing.


 * Should I put my photos on Facebook or Flickr? -** Your photos on Facebook will be available to your friends. If you want them publicly viewable, use Flickr. Plus, Facebook has an ap that allows it to import all of your uploads from Flickr. To set up the Facebook connection, just go to [|Your Account].


 * We have a tourism business and I'd like to add photos from our customers and friends. Is this ok?** - Always make sure that you have permission from our customers and friends. Also, credit the photographer in the description on the photo.


 * Tip # 2?** Share photos in relevant [|groups].


 * Tip # 3?** Fave a photo!


 * Tip # 4?** Favorite more photos than you post comments.

[|There is no limit on the number of favorites you can have.]


 * How many images are online Flickr? -** As of September 2010 more than 5 billion!


 * Who can organize a Flickrmeet or Fotosafari?** - Anyone can organize an event to bring together Flickr photographers. Plus, it's free!


 * Is there an easy way to share stats on Flickr?** - [|Stats] are publicly viewable.


 * Is there a way to access [|Monthly and Yearly Stats]?** - Not yet


 * How do I sign in?**- If you do not have an ID, create one. Good news. It's no longer necessary to have a Yahoo email to open a Flickr account. You can also sign in via a Gmail account or Facebook.


 * Can I keep some pictures private or limit viewing access? -** Yes. You can select this option as you upload pictures.

**How do I protect my photos from being downloaded by someone else?** - You can set a [|global preference] that controls who can download your photos. Just select a setting -- from "Only Me" to "Anyone." This setting applies to all your photos.


 * How do I share a photo with a group?** - If you belong to a specific [|group], just add your photo to the group pool (if not, join the group first, because only members of a group can contribute to the group pool). The easiest way add a photo to a group is to go to the photo's page, and click on the 'Send to Group' button that you should see between the photo title and the photo itself. Click that, then choose the group you want to send it to, and you're done! Planeta groups include [|Accessible Travel], [|City Parks], [|World Museums], [|World Parks] and [|Mexico Baseball]. We also contribute to [|Mexican Palette] and the [|Mezcal Pool].

In what language is Flickr available? - Flickr is available in Deutsch, English, Español, Français, Italiano, and Português. We're waiting for Zapotec and Maori!

How long should we wait for photos to appear in Flickr searches? - It may take a few weeks. If you’re new to Flickr, it’s likely that your account still needs to be reviewed. Once you’ve uploaded five public photos, your account enters the pending review queue. Until then, your photos won’t show up in public areas of the site.

How do I leave a group? - Go to your Groups page and select the group you'd like to leave. On the right-hand side, underneath the box where you can search group discussions, there's a red link labelled 'Quit (group name)?' Click this and you'll be taken to a page where you can exit the group in a graceful manner.

How do I fave a photo on Flickr? - When you are looking at a photo's individual page, you can tell the photographer (and the world) that it's one of your favorites. If you have a Flickr account and you are logged in, you will see a button on the left hand side of the photo which reads 'Add to favorites'. Click!

Can other people see my favorites? - Yes. When another person looks at your favorites, they see all the public photos in your collection.

How do I add a set to a collection? [|Open organize] and drag the set(s) you'd like into a collection.

My friends have a friendly URL while I have a string of numbers. How do I get a more friendly URL? Get a [|Flickr alias]. You only have one shot, so think this through.

What is the difference between uploading a photo and a graphic, such as artwork? Flickr says it is important to flag your image when it is not a photo. Identify it as art or as a screenshot.

Some, but not all, of my photos are set (unintentionally) that only contacts can comment. I know how to change that privacy individually per photo but don't yet know how common this problem is. Is there a short-cut to to this for all my photos in bulk? -** Check your account's [|privacy settings] and see if you can edit the preference for comments.

This does not work backwards on photos uploaded with past settings - so my question remains - is there an easier way than changing each photo individually? Try changing the preferences from within [|organize].

 * The 5 most compelling reasons for hotels to use Flickr**
 * 1) Flickr increases your web presence, building awareness among potential guests and travel planners
 * 2) Flickr can link back to your hotel website, encouraging direct bookings and helping your search engine position
 * 3) Flickr hosts your images for free
 * 4) Flickr syndicates your photos across other websites (important in Google’s universal search – which includes media)
 * 5) Flickr provides the opportunity to build relationships in your online community

Commercial Use
On the detail side: Flickr is growing insanely fast and the customer care team is under a lot of pressure. It's rare that fewer than 100,000 new accounts are created in a given week and coming up with better ways to handle the incoming help cases, user-submitted abuse reports, automated abuse detection reports, and all that while still keeping up with the flow and actually answering them all is very challenging.

In enforcing the 'no commercial use' aspects of the community guidelines, we largely rely on user-submitted abuse reports. Usually the reports are helpful and accurate, and when they are not that fact is usually pretty clear to team members investigating them.

One of the special things about Flickr is the ethos. One important aspect of that is that it is not a free-for-all -- in some ways, it's a refuge from the spam-filled, cruddy "BUY NOW!", commerce-dominated ways of the net.

That's not to say we have anything against making money in general or Flickr members making money from their photos in particular. We think that's great! We also think that we have to come up with a way to help people who are interested in selling find buyers in a way that doesn't diminish the goodness of Flickr.

While that work is going on, we're maintaining a relatively hard line on commercial promotion of Flickr photos. What we're really trying to prevent are (i) people creating accounts for the purpose of promoting their business/getting people to buy their stuff/etc. which don't add any particular goodness to Flickr and Flickr members' experience of it, and (ii) people exploiting the social tools of Flickr to spam (commenting, group spamming, adding zillions of contacts, favoriting zillions of photos and all kinds of other more subtle methods)

The hard line is there for the purpose of holding back the flood: the more promotion of purchasing there is in people's primary experience of Flickr, the more it seems like that's ok and each iteration takes the promotion further until we're right where we don't want to be.

While we aim for comprehensiveness, we're too pragmatic to expect that we can be 100% consistent. I feel that that's acceptable as long as we're reasonably consistent. The only way to be 100% consistent is to have rules that operate in a binary way and that doesn't give us sufficient flexibility to deal with the various subtleties that we find. - http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/29690

[|ffffl*ckr] - Use it to find the photography you like using the simple idea that people whose work you like, probably like stuff you'll like. You start with a set of pictures - if you authenticate, it'll use 20 of your last 100 favorites - otherwise it'll start with somebody's favorites. Click any picture to load more. Don't like what that person likes? Scroll back and click a different picture you like. It's that simple.

Third Party Permissions
You can revoke such links at any time in the [|Extending Flickr] section of your account prefs. Geotagging ([|Places])

How do I?
When you upload to Flickr, you can [|add your photos and video to a map using Organizr]. Open up the Map tab, find the place you took the photo, or shot the video - either by searching for an address, or dragging and zooming the map around - and then drop your photo on the place you took it. Easy!

What's next?
We like to think of Places as a 'page on Flickr for every place in the world.' As you stick more and more photos and video on to the world, these Places will become richer and much more interesting. This spurs us on to keep making them better, and to show you fresher, nearly-live content from [|Zambia] to [|Nova Scotia].

Are you nerdy?
That's nothing to be ashamed of. There are some nerdy **groups** on Flickr you might be interested to visit: try the [|Geotagging]group, the [|Flickr API] group, or [|Flickr Hacks] Find out [|what geotagging actually means] courtesy of Wikipedia.

Photos Flickr has partnered with Nokia to bring you their map style and satellite images. It also works with the Open Street Map (OSM) community for areas where commercial maps don’t have full coverage.

Misc FYI - In 2011 Flickr members uploaded more than 3,000 images every minute. use tags because it makes Flickr a much better resource. Don't forget to include the location (country, state/province, locale) in the tags!

Breaking: May 2013

Every Flickr member receives 1 terabyte of free storage, equivalent to 537,731 photos in original quality.

[|Flickr] is an easy way to share photos to the world ... or privately with family and friends. See the world through others’ eyes, participate, find your muse, and expand your horizons! This is one of Ron's preferred social web tools as images can be viewed in any language. For tourism providers – artisans, restaurant owners, hotels – it’s a great way of showing what’s on the menu (literally). You can upload your own photos or add stars and comments to the photos already online.

Ron: Personally, I’m invested and quite stoked to have [|5 million views in the Flickrverse]!

While the numbers are high, the missing x-factor has been shared interaction with those in the photos. I know that’s about to change as so many of friends who had no aspiration toward photography are shooting up a storm with their smartphones. And they have greater access to the web archives than ever before.

A few words about tagging: It's important to tag images to make them searchable. Also, Flickr users get to decide whether to let others (perfect strangers or family and friends) help them with the tagging. You decide.

About This Presentation This presentation is a snapshot-in-time of how we integrate Flickr as part of our communication and collaboration strategies, particularly for those working in conservation and tourism. We love photography and invite you to upload your own photos and join some of our favorite Flickr groups. Be generous and add a star to Flickr photos. Your comments are welcome and so are embeds, likes, clips and shares.- Ron Mader

Anyone worrying about losing their Flickr back catalogue can bulk-download photos using third party apps such as [|Bulkr], [|Flickandshare] or using [|Flickr’s own batch download tool]. There’s no need to panic, however. When Yahoo Photos went dark in 2007 following the acquisition of Flickr, members were given many months to download their content. “Flickr is one of the world’s largest photo sharing communities and a platform for millions of people who have collectively uploaded more than 12.4bn photos,” said a Yahoo spokesman. “We remain focused on creating a a destination for this community of photographers and people who love photos.” https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/25/yahoo-moves-next-for-flickr

FlickrStackr

Goodbye FlickrStackr, you were one of my favorite apps http://bit.ly/byeflickr http://carlosmejiagreene.tumblr.com/post/150198222535/flickr-and-me

So at our best moment, we were living off this. iPont Software was setup legally. Sometimes I had the impression from our support emails that our users thought we were more than 2 people. We never were. Me, the developer (who had another full time job), and her, the nice support person.

We released updates frequently. And we listened to feedback. Each time we got a bad review it hurt to our core. It did. This app was our baby.

But, one not-so-good day, Flickr decides to finally release their “official” app with support for the iPad. Free. How could we compete with free ? That day was the start of our end. Our sales went down by 80%. Only Japan remained (where Flickr does not have the app).

At that point my wife went back to a regular full time IT job at the usual large company. Our support suffered. My regular job got more intense. So the quality of our support and responses dropped. But we still released the occasional update.

Then 1 year later, Apple started getting picky about our app capabilities. The photo download. We went back and forth. Our apps were at that point, for sure, flagged as breaking the rules. A big X on them. As them trying to circumvent Apple’s restrictions.
