Photo-Sharing Site Offers Free Accounts

April 3, 2008

Flickr, the online photo-sharing Web site, is donating 10,000 free accounts to nonprofit organizations.

Charities and public libraries in the United States and Canada can request through TechSoup, a nonprofit technology group in San Francisco, up to five free premium, one-year accounts, which allow organizations to upload as many pictures as they want.

The company has also started a new Web site, Flickr for Good, which highlights how nonprofit organizations are using the site to raise awareness for their causes.
