Yet again I am surprised at what is available online. Of course, I've heard of Flickr and like sites for years. It's the whole social networking around photos that has surprised me. I looked at one recently posted photo which had something like 28 responses to it. Don't these people work? It's all I can do to keep up with my email at school. I can't imagine spending my own free time looking at other people's pictures and making comments on them. These virtual "friendships" make me a little crazy. I'd rather have breakfast face to face with a friend of 30 years. However, I'd have to be a block of wood not to see the potential of having access to thousands of public photos which might be used in a variety of ways if attribution is given. On the most basic level, I love having an online place to save my photos and to share them with those near and dear to me.
So here's the Flickr photo I uploaded. It's by Rona Keller who loaded it on Flickr day before yesterday. Pretty cool. However, I couldn't seem to upload it directly from the website. I had to download it to my computer first. Maybe I have to create a Flickr account first?
