Week 3: Things 5, 6 & 7

Having completed things 3 and 4 (setting up & registering my blog), I am finally having great fun with Flickr! I'm way behind, but with vacation and some work priorities behind me, I'm ready to move forward. I have attached a few of the photos taken in the past year and posted on Flickr. This site is similar in many ways to Picasa, which I absolutely love: http://picasa.google.com/. I have set up numerous "Picasa Web Albums" that keep my photos nicely organized. Flickr allows a user to organize images into "sets," but an individual cannot set up more than three sets without considering an upgrade (yuck!!) Both Picasa and Flickr share the "mapping" capability. I haven't actually explored this but hope to in the near future. Way cool!

I have learned all about mashups (a totally new concept) and played with Flickr Color Pickr, Delivr Digital Postcards, and Montager. My favorite third party site (thus far) is Trip Planner (what a surprise!) - VERY addictive!!!
