We're supposed to be exploring Flickr and all that it offers. I already upload and manage my photos on Snapfish but there are some key differences. Flickr is more a social connection in that you can post pictures, show off pictures, blog about pictures, and a lot more. I like the fact that there are people who allow you to use their pictures and it's a lot of fun to see the different photos people take. I'm not the social sort so I don't intend on changing over to Flickr but I would definitely recommend it to someone like my sister who would really enjoy the social aspect.
(Flickr) Reminds me of Library Thing but instead of photos, its books. The tags are neat and fun to assign (the cataloging part of me really likes this). Doing some simple searches I found a lot of different tags that I would have never thought of for the photo (and probably wouldn't have used but this personal aspect is neat and I imagine for some people, fun to share with the world). I'm still trying to figure out how to search for tags that might apply to ones I use, but that I don't know to use (what other words would one use).
I also played with some of the third party applications that you could apply. I do think this part of Flickr is really neat (I'm a big Linux fan). I've "attached" one to this blog - this little collage type thing - that's cute. i also liked the one where you could search for pictures with the same colors... but I couldn't figure out how to load it or use it myself - only the sample provided by the website. Hmm, I'll have to do some more exploring.
