So it does n’t surprise me at all to discover that same sense of Mac community awake and well on the online photo - sharing siteFlickr . If you ’ve somehow missed Flickr , here ’s the scoop : Flickr lets you upload your pic , impute keywords depict their message , and then publish them for other Flickr members to see and comment on . ( Of naturally , you’re able to choose to keep them private . But where ’s the fun in that ? ) Flickr phallus can then create group that pool together images with a common musical theme from the entire Flickr universe . It ’s community building at its full .

There are Flickr groups for just about every conceivable sake — food , poodle , photo feature the color yellow , and of course , the Mac . In fact , you might be surprised at just how many Mac related photos there are . We listed some of our favored Flickr group as part of the “ Hotter Stuff ” feature article in the June 2006 issue ofMacworld . Here ’s a closer facial expression at what of your fellow Mac user have been up to :

•Apple PhotoBoothandMac PhotoBooth : See the sometimes horrific — but always screaming — portraits citizenry make with Apple ’s PhotoBooth software package .

Cats Love Macs

•Cats Love Macs : The championship of the group pretty much says it all .

•The Album Art Game : desire to show off your euphony aggregation ? Take a photo of Tiger ’s iTunes screensaver , point the record album art from your music subroutine library . Others Flickr members then examine to identify as many of the record album as they can by tot notes to the different album covers .

•Macintosh : Share your obsession with like - minded Mac users . There are almost 18,000 photos and nearly 8,000 members in this picture pocket billiards , which is dedicated to all things Mac related .

And while I know if wo n’t come as much surprisal , I have to point out that you do n’t see anything approach that kind of enthusiasm from Windows users on Flickr . In fact , a search of Windows groups principally turned upscreenshots of error messages .

Sometimes a photo is indeed worth a thousand words .
