Flickr

So I have of course heard of Flickr before and there is an Flickr app on many smart devices with the Android OS, including my cell phone. I am not however, a huge picture taker and there for not a huge picture sharer, so I never had a reason before this assignment to explore Flickr.

It was easy enough to create an account, though since I already have a yahoo ID I got a little tripped up getting that part nailed down.  I had to log into Yahoo first and then sign into Flickr.  I was also asked if I wanted to link my Flickr account to my Facebook account which I declined.

Uploading photos was very easy - all you have to do is click the "upload" button and then select the file you want to upload.  I also thought it was very easy to rename, add a description and tags to each photo.  This all took about 5 minutes total.  It actually took me longer to select the photos I wanted to use for this assignment than it did to upload and tag them.

As for the tags, I discovered that he tag I used for my images (Web 2.0, Collective intelligence, collaboration, humanity, social media) were of course very common and more images than I could count shared these tags. That being said, I still feel that these were  the appropriate tags and did not feel the need to change them.
