flickr

I find flickr to be amazing, scary, why do people do this?, promote a million thoughts.
It is great that people can share photos across the world. It is also great to have grand mothers watch their grand kids grow without the delay of the mail or physical pictures. How many times did we have rolls sit undeveloped for weeks or months. I also become concern about all the folks that have not so nice thoughts and ideas when they see the photos. Like that commercial about the girl that can't erase her picture and how she loses control of her image. It also take many hours to maintain all this data by the photo owners and the site developers. Is this the best use of their time? These sites seam to have a give and take phenomenon.
They give you time (no trips to the photo lab, mailbox, etc,) and take away time, if you are not careful.
