Today the active meeting Pittsburgh Association of the Deaf passed the vote that they are paying the one-year subscription account to Flickr, the photo social network. It seems interesting to me because it could be first deaf organization/club to have an account of Flickr.
The reason is because of unlimited size of photos, unlimited bandwidth, privacy settings and the most important, ease to use. It sound too good to have advantage of that, PAD can have back-up photos to storage in Flickr server rather than worrying to get lost, limited number of photos and sizes.
Since I moved manual-built pictures from DPHH website into Flickr few months ago, I put DPHH as free one-year subscription until it expires July 2006. I resigned DPHH committee this month for good, so I am wondering myself: who's going to take responsible with DPHH Flickr? If it is active, and it's going to be interesting to see DPHH and PAD to have an competition over Flickr..
Flickr is one of best social photo sharing networking, no argument. I always have a dream for long time that I would like to see more and more Deaf people in Flickr, as I discussed in my previous entry #719. It's going to be much fun for everybody if my dream comes true.
