Week 3, Thing 5: Flickr (Part 1)

Flickr Highlights
* Very cool to be able to share photos with people all over the world.
* Tagging - I was first introducted to "tagging" while using facebook. I "tagged" a picture of myself with two friends. Oh, the memories!! (What a great way to organize photos and to find what you are looking for).
* I enjoyed seeing how Libraries were using Flickr to merchandise programs, collections, and the library as a whole! What a great (and free) idea!
* It was interesting to learn that Flickr is "Now part of Yahoo." I did not know this. (I was able to sign up for a Flickr account using my yahoo email address and password. No need to remember an additional user ID and password. How convienent).
* I signed up for a Flickr account, uploaded a photo, tagged it, selected privacy settings, and described it! It was all very easy!
* Here's My Flickr Web address: http://www.flickr.com/people/mollyrice
What a cool, cool site!!
