Flickr is not my choice of online photo sites for several reasons. You're limited to the amount of uploads each month unless you decide to pay for Flickr professional, it's not always as secure as it should be, it doesn't track who's been looking at your pictures if you allow them to be public (as in the case of this class), and the photo quality isn't as rewarding as it should be once you upload the pictures.
I do like the features of Flickr some of which I don't have with my choice, Shutterfly, but the bells and whistles of Flickr don't convince me to leave Shutterfly or it's user friendly and inexpensive but nice photo gifts and prints.
Since I'm a private person, I leave nothing public on the Internet except my two MySpace pages. There are just too many perverts to take a chance on one inadvertly using a picture of a child to find him or her. Once this class is over, I will go back to my Flickr account and make the picture private again.

Good thoughts on Flickr! If you like some of the Flickr image toys I think you can use pictures from other sources besides Flickr, like your desktop.
