I use it as a backup, and catalog. I still have my photos on my hard drive, but I know if it dies they'll be on flickr still. This was more important to me before I had dropbox. Flickr also serves as a great cataloging tool. It's quicker for me to find a photo by tag on flickr than to find it locally.
