Using Flickr - A First-Timer's Review

This review may not be a clear illustration of usual user experience as the site seemed to be experiencing issues the day I visited for the purposes of this review. 

From the onset, trying to open the site was frustrating, as it was offline the first 4-5 times I tried gaining access.  After an hour or so I was able to connect, at which time I created a user account.  Creating an account is pretty straightforward, as flicker.com directs first-time visitors to an account creation landing page.  Once an account has been created, it was easy for me to figure out how to add photos, although I don't know how easy this process would be for a web novice, as links only show where photos will be placed.  Upon clicking the links, i.e., photostream, it then becomes obvious as to how to upload images.  The uploading was not difficult, but that process has obviously been updated with mobile users in mind, as the initial uploading screen says camera roll, which I assume would be for those using cell phones are tablets.
Other than a few minor technical issues, Flickr seems a great mechanism to share and view images of all sorts with others.  Flickr gives user's the ability to share images with many social media platforms and also provides for downloading of content.  I would recommend Flickr to anyone who likes to share content.
