Flickr for Good—A Joint Project

About photographyadmin19 March 2008

flickrtechsoup.jpgFlickr has caught on not not with individuals, but also with certain organizations. They have discovered that flickr can bring attention to their causes, their members, their goals, and their achievements. Recently, flickr and TechSoup, which helps nonprofits parcel and learn close to technology, began a new program called Flickr on the side of Good.

Flickr looking for Good force take under one's wing 10,000 almost-outspoken pro memberships to registered nonprofit organizations and certain libraries in the United States and Canada. I say “almost-free” because while the memberships themselves are free, there is a chagrined administrative compensation of $3 per account.

assorted groups induce already infatuated advantage of this offer. For admonition, The Nature Conservancy has a flickr site that ran a digital photography contest that received more than 11,000 entries. Interplast, a guild that provides open-handed reconstructive surgery to children in underdeveloped areas, shows before and after photos of patients, as cooked through as images of their own workers. Oxfam sponsored a Starbucks photo request showing images of people holding signs that said “I support Ethiopian Coffee Farmers.”

Organizations can manoeuvre flickr to publicize themselves and their work, and also to share news internally. Some groups have posted online photo tutorials, while others have shared photos of potential venues, building materials, or meetings.
