Distributed Computing Wikiclass | Coursework / Using Java to access Flickr Services

Introduction

Flickr is a photo-sharing community that enables users to upload hundreds of photos and tag each photo with descriptive words. Other users can then search on these tags, enabling them to find and comment on the photos of other users. Flickr's active community and addictive sharing features have attracted millions of users. Even better, Flickr exposes a rich set of Web services that make the service highly hackable.
