I’ve jsut got into flickr and I’m loving it. I’m waiting until I’ve got a job before I get a pro account, but I’ve read up on it, and I’ve got a question: Is there any limit on the number of sets you can have on a free account?

Doh, I was testing the invite feature, and I got an email saying to invite real friends to get the Pro account. I didn’t even realize there was a promotion for that until I got that email. Glad to know I can’t invite imaginary friends.

With that said, I do have to say this service is excellent. Very slick, great web design, high in the usability factor, and very slick all around. I’m thinking it should be useful to upload pictures I take for the family to view, and the odd things I snap for memories’ sake.

Ok, I will dig around a bit — I’ll report my findings via my site.

One of my cardinal rules: don’t reinvent the wheel. Flickr is fabulous for sharing pictures for a casual snapshotter like myself. I usually poo-poo on social apps like this, but I love Flickr so far.

Donnie: Of course we are all entitled to our opinions. I think one of the more impressive aspects of Flickr is not in it's photo storing capabilities so much as in the level of community interaction and collaboration. I wasn't impressed with it when I first heard about it, on the Bonsai, but now that I've dug deeper into what it has to offer I'm finding it quite intuitive and useful. For the skeptic, naysayer or unimpressed I would urge you to join some groups, gain some contacts and comment on the photos of others. Soon enough you'll see what makes Flickr special. I find it quite fascinating actually, but again, it might not be for everyone.

I’m not all that impressed with FLICKR actually — I really don’t see what all the hype is about.

Same here, really enjoying Flickr. They really succeeded not only on in making it easy and decidedly fun to use, but also in building a great community tool!

I’m thoroughly enjoying my Pro account. Too bad I’m doing too much work to take advantage of it. But.…soon.

After you invited me to check out Flickr, I was browsing through the albums. Not having heard of this before, besides the Ofoto types, which seem to be totally different, I wanted to give it a shot.

In a brief period of time I uploaded a handful of photos, joined the Disney Geeks group, and submitted some into the group. It really is cool to discuss each picture individually. Initially I was wondering what the boxes were over portions of the picture. Took me a while to figure out they were notes, and yes that is a really cool feature.

I will definitely be expounding upon my album and spend some time browsing and commenting on the pictures up for display. Maybe you could post some links to your favorite photos and/or albums.
