Flickr is a photo sharing website launched in 2004 that allows users to upload, share, and organize their photos and videos. It has a large community of users who can view, comment on, and use each other's uploaded content. While Flickr provides free photo storage and networking opportunities, it also has some limitations like restricted video lengths, subpar search functionality, and difficulty standing out among the vast number of photos shared by others.
