Flickr is a photo sharing site that offers many different services to its user. Flickr gives the user an opportunity to tag there photos "folksonomy". The users can also rate photos. This gives higher ranked photos an opportunity to have your photo posted up for more people to see. \
The first enabler i came to notice was the enabler of off shoring. Flickr uses off shoring because it was created in Canada and is available to users in the USA.
The second enabler would be uploading which is when one person puts information up for everyone to see and access. Flickr for example uses uploading when someone puts up a photo they can set so other people can see the photo.
The third enabler is in-forming. In-forming is a search engine. Some example of in-forming would be ask.com, Google, or yahoo. Flickr uses in-forming by having a search engine in their site for users to use to find photos concerning a particular subject.
