Flickr is an online application to which Yahoo! Go 2.0 provides access. Through Yahoo! Go 2.0, Flickr enables you to browse, search, upload, and share digital photos—in fact, any image saved in the JPEG format.

Upload

You can use Flickr for uploading images taken with your device's camera and for titling, describing, tagging, and setting security on the image during the upload process.

Share

You can share the device's photos with the entire community of Flickr users or securely and privately share them with the Flickr users who are your friends and family. In return, your contacts—friends or family—can share their photos with you as well as leave comments about your photos.

To share photos using Flickr, sign in to your Yahoo! account and create a Flickr account if you don't already have one. If you don't want to use a PC browser to create an account, choose Sign up! at the Flickr position of the carousel. Because you have a Yahoo! account to access Yahoo! Go 2.0, you can easily set up a Flickr account that you need to have to use it. Note that although Flickr screen names and Yahoo! account names can be different, both names are tied to the same account.

Search

You can use searching to look for comments, tags, titles, and descriptions as well as a particular photostream belonging to a Flickr user. Photo sets as well as your contacts' photos that you mark as favorites appear in a special section of Flickr in Yahoo! Go 2.0.

Browse

Photos available to any user are shown in the Explore Flickr sections Everyone's photos and Interesting photos. As you scroll through the photos, use the Options menu item View person's stream to see all the photos from the owner of the highlighted photo.
