Reasons to use flickr instead of the built-in wordpress imaging tools:

1.       Flickr’s website gets a lot of internal traffic and you could increase your page views and website traffic just by putting all your images on flickr.  I personally have images with over 20,000 views that generated at least 1,000 click throughs (you can put live html links in the image descriptions).  Not bad considering it’s traffic I would have missed entirely.  Additionally flickr has been expanded to become a full fledged social network to include friends and messaging.

2.       Flickr offers a wide variety of image tools, like resizing, resamplling, and ajax grouping that completely rock and are far superior to anything built into wordpress.  IT’s fast too.  Upload a large image and flickr automatically provides multiple sizes and allows your visitors to do everything from favorite it to order prints.
