Flickr

Ok, so today I had a chance to look at the Flickr sight and learned a number of things. Flickr is an online photo management and sharing tool and it looks really cool. You can do a lot of things with it like "tag" your photo with a name, like a picture of a horse would be tagged "horse" and then it would be found with other photos of horses. You can also establish or join a "group" of people who have a common interest such as "horses". If you set up your own group you can set the privacy level to allow people to view your photos. This group can also have a discussion board.

One of the things I found exciting besides sharing my photos with family who live across the country is that I can also make things lik calendars, moo cards and postage stamps with my photos. I'd like to make a post card of our new house to send as a notice to family and friends that we have moved. I can even map my house if I want too but that might be too much information on the net. I hope to get on board with this this weekend.

So much to do and learn. Wish me luck in learning how.

Until nest time.
