Flickr.com Service Up and Running

I signed up for a flickr account the other day and I've been playing around with its features. I've found the web interface extensive with regards to features, but a bit primative - almost confusing - with regards to it's easy of use. It posts to my blogs accurately and dependably. You can find an example here.

I initally like how they've taken into account Mac users with a downloadable "uploading application", plus there's an iPhoto plug-in that's available as well. The slideshow feature looks great. You can publish slideshows for friends and family based on editable sets you can great from their website. There are lots of other photo editing and management tools available as well, but I haven't fooled around with them yet. Looks like they've done a decent job putting together a great service.

I stopped using flickr.com because I was worried that used bandwidth included downloads, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It looks like they just hold you accountable for the stuff you upload!
