How does it work?  First you take a photo using your smart phone or select one previously taken.  Then you write a few words about the photo (optional).  Then you write in a few hashtag words that might look like this, #soflytyers, #flyfishersinternational,  #catchandrelease.  What these hashtag words do is make a searchable word whereby other people could find your posting by searching any of those hashtag words (also optional).  This makes it easy for people of common interests to find each other.  Keep in mind that it is international so interaction with other countries is quit easy.
