A friend turned me on to yet another photo sharing site called Flickr. The service interested my friend because is supports syndication via RSS 2.0 and Atom and that's why it interests me. Syndication, of course, is the process by which you can subscribe to changes to the site.
I created a profile in a jiffy and you can view my photos here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickcody or http://www.flickr.com/people/nickcody
RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds are available.
You may also have noticed that some random recent photos will appear in my sidebar. This is thanks to a simple bit of Javascript they allowed me to customize and paste into my main page template.
With Flickr, you can share photos by making them public and it's easy to see what other Flickr users, including your contacts, are doing with Flickr.
Flickr also seems to allow you to create a blog, but I already have this one so I didn't go into that party of the site.
The first set of shots I put up t here are a series of photos taken by my son, who's five. I gave him a 2 megapixel camera for his birthday earlier this year and he's taken over 800 photos with it. I'm amazed at some of his results. Check out the giovannishot slideshow.
