I've just completed a one month trial of a Flickr Pro account. I got the folks at Flickr to provide me with this one month trial so I could see how well the service worked when I had a nearly unlimited photo upload quota.

I've reported on a couple of Flickr's advanced features, including Flickr Notes which allows customers to attach notes to regions of their photos. I mentioned the Flickr Uploadr desktop uploading tool and Organizr web-based photo stream manager when I pointed out how to access my Flickr public photo stream. These are really cool features that extend the Flickr website in a manner that I used to associate with desktop photo library management software.

I think the fact that I subscribed to Flickr during its beta period speaks for itself; Flickr has what it takes to be successful and have a lot of customers. My friends and family who have used Flickr to view Kathleen's and my personal photos have said they like it. I think Operation Gadget readers who are digital photographers should give Flickr a try.
