Flickr, upload you photos and videos and share them with the WORLD. I have always been a bit weary of putting pictures on the web, well let me correct myself I have been careful as to what I put on the web since college(everyone has those pictures from that time in their life that they thought were fun at the time but now realize that they are a bit…unfortunate.) That said I do believe that sharing pictures is still one of the greatest features that internet has to offer, while I know it has more interesting and important features. Being able to upload pictures and videos of significant or even not so significant events is a great way to stay in touch with others, especially those who are far away. Libraries can use it in the same way, not so much for distance, but for keeping people informed about events and happenings at the library which is a really great feature. And Flickr is so user friendly it took under 5 minutes to create and account and upload some pictures. It may sound cheesy but now that I know using Flickr is so easy, I can’t wait to use it again to share my photos. Here are some of the pictures I was able to take today in Lockwood Library. 


Cheers!
That shot of the shelves in Lockwood is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah, I agree about Flickr being easy to use. For me, it took getting a new computer though, before I could even see all of the buttons that allowed me to share photos. With that out of the way, sharing them was super easy...even fun! I too have been cautious about 'sharing' so much on the Web. I've been learning that it is important to be aware of ways to adjust privacy settings so that you can share only what you wish to share.
ReplyDeleteGreat job ob your blog design by the way.
