Quick one today. I was on the verge of writing a lengthy, detailed entry on Flickr (really!) but Josh Lowensohn over at Webware did a perfectly good job not too long ago. If you want to find out everything there is to know about Flickr, click here.

There are plenty of reasons why you should consider using Flickr as part of an overall PR campaign, or just for your firm. Now, I could rattle off a list for you…or I could point you to a couple of Kevin Dugan’s entries on “Flickr Hacks” that sum things up beautifully:

  • “10 Flickr Hacks”: Highlights include using Flickr as a means of getting high-resolution images to influencers — as opposed to using Email — and posting shots of life in the firm to serve as a recruitment tool. Hey HR people — take note!
  • “10 More Flickr hacks”: Fewer ideas here strictly for the PR professional here, but an excellent and enlightening read nonetheless.
