Day 3 -- Lessons #5-7: Flickr & Tech site:

1st, explore Flickr -- where I have never dared to go, until now, w/ a gentle push from CML.

Later (for the 2nd time) -- this is much more complicated than I'd thought it would be. Set up a Yahoo Account (took 3 tries), signed up for Flickr & set up an account there, posted an image, Had trouble updating my Learn & Play Records, etc.

As to Flickr, itself (http://www.flickr.com/): Its a cool online site for storing, organizing, editing, & sharing images, also for sending images to your Blog, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet -- it takes time, I'll get there. Certainly this has value for both personal use & for library staff & customers.....Time to shelve books.

2nd, explored Flickr 3rd party sites & mashups --it's a big world out there. Considering the whole picture, as much as I can, at present, there appear to be endless possibilities for image sharing, especially information related images. Here's an example of an information-laden mashup: http://www.webmashup.com/blog/2007/08/18/earthquake-a-google-maps-mashup/

3rd, Now to add Tech. info site -- Posted it on L&P log, then modified it to the URL for this blog entry site -- an article re. new Image Search Software, Picitup @ http://www.israel21c.org/bin/en.jsp?enZone=Technology&enDisplay=view&enPage=BlankPage&enDispWhat=object&enDispWho=Articles%5El2231

--&, by the way, I just figured out how to add links to my Blog! another "small step."(added 9/30 -- I'm going back through & tweaking some of my entries, more like damage control w/ some -- thanks for the extra time!)
