I happened to have this photo handy in an email message, so I thought I would use it to start my Flickr account. That's me on the left with a good friend that I hadn't seen in more than 3 years. When I walked in the door, he handed the camera to his 4 year old daughter and told her to take our picture. I think she did a nice job.
Prior to working on this assignment, I had only visited Flickr a few times. I usually ended up here following links from a blog post or website. It's so incredibly easy to use, though, I'm not sure why I didn't investigate it sooner. It seems like a great way to stay in touch with friends and family.
The most obvious use for Flickr in libraries is the promotion of events. It helps to generate interest in future events if you can show how much fun people have had at past events! There is also a tremendous opportunity in a site like Flickr where you might be able to catch the interest of someone who might not find themselves on your library's website.
No dislikes or favorite features at this point. Everything seems very easy!
