Why Flickr?
Here are a few more reasons why we use Flickr (see How we use Flickr):
-
Share worldwide:
It enables everyone in the world to get closer to what our lives are like as UCSF School of Pharmacy students, faculty, and staff.
-
Share locally:
It enables you to more easily explore everyone else's shared School and UCSF photos and videos using Flickr photo groups.
-
Free your inbox:
Instead of sending photos and videos in e-mail, which takes up the limited space in your account, upload to Flickr then send only the link to your photo or video or set.
-
Enable others to share and reuse:
It's the first photo sharing service with an application programming interface (API) that enables people to extract publically available Flickr photos and videos and then do interesting things with them. Examples: bighugelabs, travelr, flickrleech, Slickr.
-
Web feeds:
It has web feeds (RSS) that enable you to regularly and easily see the newest photos and videos that have been uploaded. Examples: PageFlakes and NetVibes.
-
Convenience and speed:
You upload at your convenience at any hour of the day, and your photos and videos appear on the School's website, your student organization's website, or any other website automatically -- no waiting for someone to update the web page.
