During my first look at FLICKR I was heading north so I looked for pictures of places I wanted to see. My husband wanted to see the Erie Canal, so I looked for pictures of it. I found real photos taken by regular people, and there were tons of them. The difference between these and what you find on official websites is that there were pictures from all angles. You could see everything, not just the professional photos taken from just the perfect angles. This tool would be useful in helping a patron decide if they wanted to travel to some particular place.
If you have a need to share photos among a group, or a family located all over, this tool could be quite useful. Emailing pictures is not very practical sometimes. If you have more than a few photos, then email becomes cumbersome. Using FLICKR, you could sign up, invite your friends, then share away.

You know, I never thought about that usage for flickr. What a great idea! And if you're the sort who wants to know exactly where to go or what to look for, and the website is lousy (as many official websites are, sadly), this could be very useful. Thanks!
I mostly use it myself for sharing my doings w/ far-distant friends & family... I don't know how often they ever think to look at it, but it's convenient when they do. :-)
