Week 8: Flickr and Youtube

Using Flickr was knew for me, so I was happy to explore it. I had a look at various communities, places and popular tags. The Take a Tour was very easy to follow and gave lots of info. I have found that throughout most of these 2.0 intro's...once you get into the site, they are quite user friendly. I can see this would be fantastic for sharing family/ friend photos for those far away.

I am familiar with Youtube. I use it often to see and hear a band or musician I am interested in, and have found all sorts of interesting hits. I use it also to hear the tune of songs we use in Library programming. Of course, once in a while you come across something hilarious...one of my favorites is called Hotel Survival; shows a guy making a full cooked meal in a swanky hotel, using the iron, hairdryer, little kettle, etc. Wonderful!
