Once you make the switch to a digital camera, it is all too easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer number of photos you take or videos you shoot with that itchy trigger finger. Now you can easily upload, organize and share your photos and videos with instant access to Flickr right at your fingertips.

One of the premiere photo-sharing and hosting sites on the web, Flickr offers users the ability to upload, store, manage and share personal photos and videos. Join Flicker for free and begin sharing images immediately. You can upload photos via the Flickr upload web page, by using the Flickr desktop uploader, or by emailing them to your Flickr account from your cameraphone or mobile device. You also have the ability to edit photos - get rid of red eye, crop or resize a photo or get creative with loads of different effects - with photo-editing tools from Flickr's partner, Picnik.com. Plus, easily manage your photos by tagging them and grouping them into sets, which are organized around a theme, and creating collections, which are groupings of sets.

With millions of users, and hundreds of millions of photos and videos, Flickr has a huge photographic community, with sharing at its heart. You can join groups based around common interests to share your photos and videos, as well participate in forums and group discussions. And if you can’t find a group which interests you, it’s easy to start your own. You can also share your photos with friends and family by creating a Flickr blog or web address and sending people the link and embedding photos into forums, blogs, social networking profiles or webpages. And, you are able to set your privacy levels to control who you share your images with.

You can also create a list of friends or "contacts" on Flickr to share your content with and track their newest photos. You can mark anyone you meet or invite in Flickr as a contact and organize them into friends, family, or friends and family. And you can explore and search Flickr to view other people's sets and collections, download photos and bookmark your favorites.

So now uploading, managing and sharing your photos and videos has never been easier with your connection to Flickr.
