Week # 6- Photo Sharing (Flickr)

This week we are learning about photo sharing. I do share photos on-line so I am familiar with some of the sites. I do have a Flickr account (before it was suggested) but I don't use it much. Most of my on-line photo sharing is done with my social networking accounts. However, I do like Flickr and I think it is neat! (Did I just use neat?)



I can't see how the library will use Flickr, but I'm sure that someone out there is thinking of a way. I guess you can use them to share photos of events, but I'm not sure how many patrons would care to have their photos all over the internet. I like to have my pictures taken and I do put them up. But I would want them to be all over the web where anyone could use them for any purpose. (Please don't pretend that it does not happen, because you know it does!) Yes, I know that they have copyright protection, but don't kid yourself into thinking that you are safe because it's there. People photocopy protected items all the time. If you don't believe me, just look at how many people photocopy books.



Now, I know that the "assignment" was to post a picture and write about it. But, there was a chick fight in the library and you have to see all the photos. So, I am posting the link and you can check it out for yourself.
