Flickr Groups - Is there really a community?
Some interesting quotes:
Yolise:
Who says every group has to be a community anyway?
Andreas Helke:
“There are more than 100,000 groups on flickr.I would wish it where lot less. But the current reality is a very fragmented and cryptic group system. As a result I am a member of 900 of them and administrator or coadministrator of 60 groups”
Violentz:
To me the Flickr “community” are my own contacts and friends who comment on my photos and me on theirs.
shhexycorin:
Some groups are communities, some groups places where people go to look at pictures, some groups are utterly pointless. A lot of them are all 3.
iansand:
flickr is the community, not the groups. Groups add something to the community. There are other things that go into the mix.
Noël Lee:
It’s interesting to read this discussion on community because my closest friend and I were just saying yesterday that what makes flickr so addictive is not the photos but the world-wide community.
