Flickr as political organizing tool: no surprise here about the power of visuals.

MoveOn's popular Flickr photo-sharing account shows how political causes can engage people who are already socializing online.

Flickr as home to a "nice" group:I was taken by this group's introduction and qualification for joining. I don't see this sort of language too often because "nice" has become a "dirty word" in some quarter as being false, insincere, etc. It appears to reflect the values of the group (see my earlier post on values!). Now these might not be your values, or my values. But what is great here is they set up an expectation and then you choose if you want to join. Seems fair to me.

Who Should Join? http://www.flickr.com/groups/utata/

Whoever is polite and interested. Notice polite is first.
