Flickr: Home to Cool Photos
In a move to expand internationally, Yahoo-owned image-sharing site Flickr has created new versions of its site in the seven major languages besides English - French, German, Korean, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and traditional Chinese, with other languages to follow, reports Reuters.
Flickr was one of the first websites to popularize "tagging," a way to categorize content online by adding specific words to each image. The site currently touts around 12.5 million tags and 525 million photos created by its users.
Already, more than half of the site's 24 million active monthly visitors come from outside the US. In order of popularity, the top countries using Flickr are the U.S., Britain, Canada, Germany, Brazil, Spain, France and Australia.
