I've heard of it but don't know much about it.  Anyone care to enlighten me?

It's a website similiar to shutterfly or photobucket where you can upload your pictures, etc.

Its an image sharing site hosted by Yahoo! You can make your pictures private or so only contacts can see them, its free up to a certain amount or you can pay a 1-2 year fee and your uploads will be unlimited

And I can shoot my edited pics straight from Light Room right into my flickr account.  And people can comment on them.

It's a photo sharing site, but there's a lot more to it than Shutterfly or other sites.  There are message boards, and you can join groups for different types of photography.  It's more of a community for amateur photographers.

I didn't know you could do that!  Life just got a little easier.
