One of the many great features of Flickr is the fact that it was designed as open source software. A software program that is considered open source means that its code is accessible to developers so that they may use it to design and create other online programs and software.Flickr is a wonderful example of open source software and so many people have used its code to create third party sites and tools. I found a neat one called PicMarkr which allows you to upload your photos directly from Flickr (or another photo hosting site) and apply a watermark to your photographs. PicMarkr markets itself as a tool that allows you to feel safe about putting your photos online because the watermark serves as a way to protect your ownership of your images.
I used it to add a watermark to one of the photographs I took this summer at a cottage near Haliburton. It was a beautiful day!
