Usefulness and appropriateness of Flickr…as we all know that Flickr is a great tool for the photo sharing publishing tool on internet great quality photographs. There are number of reason we all love using Flickr…

reasons for usage

-liked the fact that it provide the information if the picture is previously copied or not..

-Well there are lots of photos to view

-quality of pictures

-it has really interesting, creative and artistic photographs..

WOW thats great it has lots of postive points to be used for but now thee questions arises how safe is it, what information we can hide, who to share with and do you know who is checking or copying it..do you have any clue…i do agree that it does provide the information about which image is copy written and not but however that information will not stop people form stealing the pictures or copying it..or have any idea who is checking it…Otherwise, it’s a pretty good site and nothing wroing with it…the another reason is it dont have many privacy controls features that allows other users to stop viewing from personal or kids images…some users copy and use the pictures for their own digital story and leave inappropriate comemts via email or putting on the open sourse social networking website…
As you can see, some reasons to use Flickr and some reasons just put you off straight away…and put you in deep thouhts due to inappropriate images, who is watching it, copying it etc…
Check the articles below..which is the clear example and live example of why its not safe…http://newscoma.com/2008/07/28/raising-hell-with-a-perv-on-flickr/
We have gone through many social media website before launching Hiraj.com…we have many reason to be happy about coming this far and after doing a bit of research about the tool and features we added to site…the main concern for the parents was the privacy of their kids,safety aspects and addressed concerns of parents whn they want to share with…we have covered and tried our best to address them…in HIraj.com….parents have the safety and privacy control features of who they want to share the images/albums/diary/growth/health features etc. we have added them individual safety tools so secure their kids images,information and details..Now atleast with Hiraj.com they have one stop place to do all above things as compatred to other baby diary or social media website or broadcasting or open blogs.

Why use Hiraj.com

Safe & security:  Yes we all know that you might be wondering and thinking why you have to use Hiraj.com instead of other great social networking websites out there i.e. myspace, twitter, facebook, orkut etc. We all know that you have accounts on them and sharing your pictures and videos with friends but is there is a website for kids which will totally doing kids related stuff or networking site. Will you be totally convinced of putting your blogs or writing information on the walls or scarp you kids information on the open domains to let any and everyone to share it….hmmmm…noooo…because of the privacy controls and we don’t want to shared our kids information on it due to many reasons i.e. not safe as anyone can read or write back, information on the public domain etc but with Hiraj.com we give you a dedicated site for kids where you can log, store and publish memoires of your kids.

Friends and Family: You can also add other friends and their kids on your website so that they can become friends and you can see their development and growth as well together with your kids. It’s a great way of storing and sharing information with your loved ones who are not around or living abroad or can’t see your kids growing every day. This will increase the bond between the kids and families.

Grandparents: We know you all have might have account most of the website and how to use the computers .Yes you are techies that you are able to use the computer and have accounts on most of the social networking site other related website, we give you credit for that but what about your grandparents are they techies too or using most of the social networking sites as you doo. This is where Hiraj.com comes into the play as we have made the sign in process easy and themes of the site is designed to make it user friendly so that everyone can make the best of our services and no one is missed out..Same goes to the other family members who are not computer literate but with Hiraj.com they will just have to sign in and able to see their nephews, grandchildren’s, nieces etc growth and developments on the regular basis.

Competitors: We have some great tools and control features which enable parents to only share the information that they want to share or keep for their own reference. Most of the website did not give the parents the option to keep the information public or private or the features are only available to paid members. We have tools on our website where parents can make the information public or private i.e. if parent don’t want to share certain pictures with friends and family all they have to do is click on private. This information will only be viewed by them and not be shared unless they make it public again.
