Unlocking Curation on Flickr



Congratulations to the Flickr Team -- Heather, Aaron, Adrienne, Jude, Eric, Kellan and a few others-- on the launch of the Galleries feature. Heather has spent a lot of time thinking about the feature:

Galleries give our members an opportunity to curate their view of Flickr, to bring together up to 18 photos or videos. The features of a gallery will give you more opportunity to share your view about what makes your selection interesting.


We spent a lot of time thinking about this feature as part of what we used to call out media stratey (whatever that means). We hope that Galleries will be the start of an entirely new way of people sharing photos and videos on Flickr, one that will allow curators (not just the original photographer) to tell the story of a ritual, a dream, a news event, or something entirely different.

Congratulations Flickr team! Here's a link to the explore galleries page.
