Flickr and all of lesson 4

So today we learned about flickr, mashup and image generators. The Flickr website was really "kuhl." I setup an account so I can start saving all my photos to my computer and the web. I always take digital pictures and then I load them on my computer and they sit there. I never share them or even print them. I miss the good ol' days where you could take pictures and then take them to get developed and then go and share them with friends and family. Flickr will help me share with my family and friends. I may not use Flickr...I think I might take a poll with my family and see if they are using a particular site so that we can all share.
The image generator was also "kuhl"... we can change the borders and add things to all our photos. The bad thing is...my friend Tricia put a picture of her husband on it and made some changes to it and then when I went to the same web page I got to see her changes and her photo. When I went to put up a photo, hers got deleted and mine was on the web for the world to see. This part may be bad because a picture of you is up for the world to see and to change until the next picture is uploaded!! Oh well!!

  3. Sounds like you enjoyed the afternoon. I like the idea of finding a site to share photos with family. You are right. It doesn't have to be Flickr. There are many others. I have a neice who sends photos of the kids and she uses a variety of sites.

    You make a good point about posting things on the web. Once it is out there, it is out there. You have to be very cautious about what you put on the web and where.
