Flickr is an image and video hosting website and was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications. In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository. Its popularity has been fueled by its organization tools, which allow photos to be tagged and browsed.

I can upload pictures to Flickr to share with family and friends. I can also make a slideshow of my uploaded photos. I can use Flickr as an online storage space for photos.

Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website -- the primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too. On del.icio.us, you can use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders.

Del.icio.us allows me to place all my bookmarks in one location. I can access my bookmarks from any computer by logging into Del.icio.us. By using tags, I can easily recognize groups of related bookmarks.
