Thing 21 - Flickr Tags

Flickr is different in several ways from the traditonal photosharing web sites because it has many features to offer. Flickr allows its users to organize their photos by using tags. The tags allow users to find photos taken about a particular topic or subject matter. The tags are great for photos that are shared with everyone. Individuals can also organize their photos into sets or groups that fall under the same heading. The sets can then be organized again into collections. The user can set up their photos in a way that they can be stored for either private or public viewing. You can control who (family and friends) is allowed to view your photos. Flickr also allows you to browse for your photos by folksonomy.
