There are several features that make Flickr.com worthy. If you have a special event or interest, you can put photos or videos from different sources in a "Private Group." For example, someone can start a senior prom group and anyone who took pictures from that night can upload his or her photos to share with others. Kids can also send Flickr Mail (mail between members) and search by member profiles, tags, or groups. Flickr.com also works with third parties to offer DVD slideshows, photo books, posters, calendars, blogs, and postage stamps -- all featuring your photos -- to buy.

The main drawback to Flickr.com is that it's easy to access other members' stuff, allowing curious kids to find things you may not want them to see. Monitoring what your kid sees on the site proves difficult as content is constantly being uploaded. Flickr.com does provide community guidelines on posting, but quick searches on the site prove that these rules aren't being enforced diligently or quickly enough: Examples of frontal nudity, genitalia, and photos of intimate moments can all be found. Content can be reported by clicking on a "may offend" link.
