I’m sure many of you are aware of “Flickr“.  It is a very popular photo / image hosting service that many use.

I’ll let you hear what happened from the horses mouth why you should be careful using flickr. For those of you who are too busy to read the link the summary is if you host all your images on flickr; they will get all the google / yahoo and msn image traffic that could of been going to your blog.
