DM2009 on Flickr

Flickr is a service that allows you to upload your pictures to a server where they are accessible for everybody who wants to see them. The pictures get a unique URL and you can add a desription and title to it. You can even specify which person can be seen on it.

Furthermore it is possible to create sets and groups, to gather pictures around a certain topic. People can also search for pictures with a certain theme - if these pictures are named and described correctly.

So to share our impressions and views with the world Flickr is the platform to use - a picture is worth a thousand words!
