In the game you get two teams namely the red and blue team, these two teams compete against each other to finish specific tasks. The player can choose to be one of the nine classes. Each class has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Team Fortress 2 toke nine years for valve to complete, this was because they worked hard on making sure the classes were even and that there was no class that was better than the other. This was very important for Valve to do because on most online games there is a weapon or class that is more powerful than the other.A few examples of this is the AWP on counter strike source the rocket launcher on half life 2: deathmatch as well as Quake 3.Because the classes on TF2 are so even you get a even amount of people playing classes making the team play even more important.

TF2 has proven that if a team does not work together they will fail but if they do they will succeed. If you are looking for a game that is very team orientated then this is the game for you.TF2 is the most competitive online game of all time because of valve brilliant map architecture and design as well as their 9 even and useful classes.

Flickr is an online photo/image hosting and sharing site combined with social networking features like commenting on other peoples work as well as “favorite” their work and give it a rating. Flickr is the world’s most popular photo-sharing site with images being added every second of every day.

In February 2004 flickr was launched by Ludicorp which was a company based in Vancouver,Canada.Aglthough the site is mainly for personal photos and is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository. At the end of the year 2008 flickr had more than 3 billion images in their data base.

Flickr was a proposed multi-user game that was never released because of its huge take off as an image website. The first thing the Flickr website had was a chat room called flickrLive. flickrLive was a place where people could share and exchange their images with others. Flickr was mainly only a forum where members would post pictures they had found on the web however rapidly the site evolved into A site where users would rather show off their personal images.


In 2005 Ludicorp was bought out by yahoo and they became the proud new owners of the flickr Brand and site. Still today flickr is growing at an alarming rate and is getting bigger and more popular. Because of this sites social networking infrastructure which combines photos with it, this site is on the on-his-mind best sites online list.
