Thing #7

Above are some photos that I uploaded to flickr.com. Creating an account and uploading photos on flickr was surprisingly easy. The site is easy to navigate. When people upload photos, they can tag the photo so that people can easily find them. For example, my photo at the top is of the sun setting in California. Therefore, I tagged my photo as California and sun setting. Now when someone searches for California or sun setting pictures, my photo will be one of the ones that shows up. I can use my photos in personal ways. For example, I can create albums of family gatherings and share them with my family. I can also use other photos to put in powerpoints for classes. The only other site that I've used for uploading photos is Facebook.com. There people can upload photos to share with friends and family. They can also adjust privacy settings so that either everyone can see the photos, or just family and friends can see the photos. I'm not really concerned with having my photos in a public place. If I didn't want people to see them, I'd adjust my privacy settings to allow only the people I want to see them.
