I hadn't played around with Flickr before. I knew it was out there, but never had taken the time to actually do anything with it! Now that I've had the chance to do some of the basics, I find that I like it! I think I may use the service as another way to save digital versions of the family photos. I won't trust it completely (I'll still save to an external drive as well), but I like the fact that it can be used to share photos with friends and family. Shutterfly has some of the same functionality, and I've used that service before, but not for batch uploads, or linking to blogs!
From my standpoint in IT, I think there could be some functionality for it's use professionally. The video upload capability could be used as I have thought of using Viddler - for demonstrating Tech Concepts, or as a storage area for such photos and videos to use elsewhere. Photos and digital files (like screenshots) can also be used for step-by-step instructions, and the fact that my "pig" graphic uploaded fine shows that.
What will be interesting to find out is how well the edit tools work with files that are uploaded! Lots to learn about on the Flickr site!
