#5 Discover Flickr

Just like the internet generally, flickr is overwhelming in the amount of photographs available for viewing. Even with the tags, and the groups, which serve to categorize the images to some extent, I can't help but feel they could do with a cataloguers touch. With vast numbers of images added by the minute, one wonders how many will ever be viewed.
The groups certainly enable a useful sharing of images. For example, within the bonsai groups, members are able to demonstrate various bonsai techniques, with members of the group able to participate in discussions, ask questions, etc.
I especially enjoyed the nature photographs - stunning sunsets, landscapes, flowers, - but how much time could be swallowd up skimming through these.
