What are Groups?
Groups are places to share photos related to a particular theme (e.g., a geographic location, subject matter, photographic technique, etc.)
There are 3 types of groups:
Public – Anyone who wants to can join instantly
Public (invite only) – The group page is public, but the only way to join is by invitation
Private – Only group members and those who have been invited will be able to view the group page

What are Sets?
Sets are a way to group related pictures together within your account – sort of like creating thematic photo albums!

What are Contacts
Contacts are other Flickr users with whom you want some level of relationship.
Making someone a contact gives you easier access to their public photos.
Making someone a contact is the first step in sharing private photos with them; the second step is marking them as:
Friend
Family
Or both

Adding Contacts Decide if you want to designate this contact as Friend or Family Click on right side of a buddy icon to open the drop-down menu; select Add as a contact option. Your new contact will appear on your Profile page
