Flickr was launched in February 2004 by Ludicorp, a Vancouver-based company founded by Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake. The service emerged out of tools originally created for Ludicorp's Game Neverending, a web-based massively multiplayer online game. Flickr proved a more feasible project, and ultimately Game Neverending was shelved;[7] however, Butterfield has since launched an online game of similar intent, but it is being closed as well.[8][9][10]
-
Early versions of Flickr focused on a multiuser chat room called FlickrLive with real-time photo exchange capabilities. The successive evolutions focused more on the uploading and filing backend for individual users and the chat room was buried in the site map. It was eventually dropped as Flickr's backend systems evolved away from the Game Neverending's codebase.
-
Some of the key features of Flickr not initially present were tags, marking photos as favorites, group photo pools and interestingness, for which a patent is pending.[11]

account but an account must be made in order to upload content onto the website.
Registering an account also allows users to create a profile page containing
photos and videos that the user has uploaded and also grants the ability to add
another Flickr user as a contact. For mobile users, Flickr has an

Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. It was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications.[citation needed] In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.[2] Its popularity has been fueled by its organization tools, which allow photos to be tagged and browsed by folksonomic means.[citation needed] As of November 2008[update], it claims to host more than 3 billion images.[3][4][5]
