Some related Technologies Demystified -- Flickr

Flickr (part of Yahoo!) is a photo management and sharing technology.

A quick search on Flickr for "libraries" found 176 632 photos of that had been tagged "libraries".

Photos can be uploaded from the web, from mobile devices, from the users' home computers and from whatever software they are using to manage their photos. And made available to all (or to a select few - depending on whether you have made the photos public or private) through the the Flickr website, in RSS feeds, by email and by posting to outside blogs.

YouTube does something similar for videos.
