TLC 2.0 Week 3

Using Flickr and Photo Sharing.

I found flicker to be interesting, to a point.

At some points I felt as if I had stumbled into an old relative's home and was subjected to an endless night of watching the family slides back to 1953.

You start to appreciate those slides as you get older. Especially, the stories that begin to trickle out from them.

Flickr is a bit like that; except that the old family stories don't come out. So all the pix seem to be "out of context".

What did I like best ?

I did make a Librarian Trading Card

With one of the BIG Huge Labs Tools

This was a bit fun for anyone who has played RPG card games.

I could see that many of their tools would be great as customized gifts for friends and family.









What captured my imagination the most ?

I loved the products from





Zazzle











Especially the Photo Postage stamps

WOW what a great way for promotion !

This is fun for Wedding Invitations and Thank You notes.

I made a stamp sample for my Wife and suggested that she use these stamps when her book is published.

And/Or as a method to promote her work.

Overall

I am comfortable and well versed in photo sharing and manipulation around the Internet.
I can already send photos around and assemble slide shows.

I felt no need to set up, yet another, account in Flckr and subject my pix to the rest of the world.

Most of the Mash-up tools also allow for uploading pix from the PC.

I will keep Flckr in mind if I am looking for certain types of images.

Yet - I still miss that dusty smell that blows out from the back of the slide projector.
