organize around a certain theme, such as Our Family Vacation. You can use them to highlight your favorite photos, or make an album that is only pictures of your dog, or of photos you've taken with a particular camera.

Organize: CollectionsOrganize: Collections

• Collections are a grouping of Sets (or other Collections) so you can organize around grander themes, such as People, Travels, or by year (2007, 2006, etc).

Flickr: OrganizerFlickr: Organizer• The Organizr is where both Collections and Sets

are created. It also allows you to perform common tasks on large batches of photos, such as tagging, changing permissions, or editing timestamps. It’s really rather handy.

Flickr: SharingFlickr: Sharing• With millions of users, and hundreds of

millions of photos, Flickr is an amazing photographic community, with sharing at its heart.

• Groups are a way for people to come together around a common interest.

• If you can’t find a group which interests you, it’s super-easy to start your own.

• Groups can either be public, public (invite only), or completely private. Every group has a pool for sharing photos and a discussion board for talking.

• Privacy is a common area for concern on the web, but on Flickr it’s easy to control who you share your images with. For each of your photos on Flickr you can set:– privacy level, which determines who can see

your image – usage license, so your copyrights are protected – content type, flag your photos as either photos,

artwork/illustrations, or screenshots – safety level, so other members only see images

within their specified comfort zones

tag, time, text, and group, and it's also great for exploring photos by place.
