Frickn FLickr is GREAT! Who knew!
Well, I fell in love with flickr! As far as this love affair goes, for now, I will use it for my personal enjoyment, which of course involves sharing with friends and family. But as the love affair continues, and flickr and I continue to be good to each other, I can see it coming into my classroom with me! It would be a great addition to show-and-tell when something can't be brought into the classroom!!! This is the first "photo-hosting service" that I have used. (Actually I guess that title included facebook and myspace, so I suppose its the third.) But the first that is used solely for photo-hosting. I believe it is even easier to use for photo uploading than facebook! (Myspace I no longer use, and can't remember much about, so I cant speak to that.)
I do feel a little weird about hosting my photos for just anyone to look as, but the ones I have up now are fine for being listed as public. Any pictures of people or specifics, I will post as "for friends and family," etc. I am excited to share more photos with friends and family. But only one person in my email address books has a flickr account, so if I could just get more people on the band wagon, it'd be a lot more exciting.
Using flickr was very easy!!! I uploaded from my camera's memory card and from my phone direclty. Uploading was very fast, and multiple pictures can be uploaded at once. Personalizing and finding contacts was also very easy and intuitive! Surprisingly, it was a very pleasant introduction to my new love, all in all.
