About Flickr
Flickr is a photo management and sharing web site with over 200,000 members that allows users to upload photos and put together photo albums that can be annotated with "tags" and shared. Founded in 2002 by Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield and originally based out of Vancouver, Canada, Flickr was purchased by Yahoo! in March 2005. [Source: Flickr, CNET, August 2005]
