Flickr offers inexpensive image and video hosting, flexible licensing, and an incredible amount of ways to share your photos. WordPress plugins allow even easier ways to embed Flickr photos into blog posts, and free slideshow generators and Facebook apps import Flickr photos into social networking sites. Flickr photos can also be embedded on your website as a photo gallery or other customized display.

We often recommend that clients use Flickr to upload their photos, but photos can also be embedded from Flickr groups or even personal accounts. For example, the Bloomfield Development Corporation does not have its own account, but does manage a Flickr group of photos from many users. The BDC website displays photos from the Flickr Bloomfield group which have a certain tag.
