Creative commons licences are changing the way that content is published / used on the internet and one of the main sources of rights free photography is Flickr.
I had a marketing lecture tonight that discussed this further. One of our examples of a great Flickr based, Creative Commons project, was something called the 'Flickr song' by Johnathan Coulton. His song 'Flickr' consists of a slide show of random photos with an accompanying song with lyrics based on the images.
Johnathan Coulton saw 'Flickr' picked up on Boing Boing and a whole range of other websites. The posting for 'Flickr by Johnathan Coulton' is on Google Video here:

I have had my own Flickr moment recently too. Aside from posting photos of the Camden Market Fire, I have also added a range of other images that I have taken. I have posted a number of photos of central Gothenburg (Sweden) and one of the images I have uploaded has been noticed by a guidebook company:
The new Schmap guide to Gothenburg is about to be released and I am really pleased that my Flickr photo is included (in the 'Hotels' section.) The Schmap guide to Gothenburg can be found here: http://www.schmap.com/gothenburg/home
Another example of how Flickr is changing the way that organisations source and use photos!
