Week3:6 Flickr Fun
I looked at the following Flickr applications: Flickr Colorpick, Flickr Montagr, Flickr Compfight.com, Flickr Pictobrowser, Flickr Postcard Browser (nice result using search term, "reading manga"), Flickr Chia Pet and The Internet Inferno. The Internet Inferno sounded interesting...it described itself as follows: "...as you scroll down, you visit the levels of purgatory described by Dante. Each level shows 10 random Flickr photos which have the same keyword as the level you're in (i.e. gluttony). When you finally reach the bottom, you see Satan." What I learned is that people for the most part do a lousy job of tagging their photos.

The whole tagging phenomena is pulling me two directions. I love the idea of personally tagging sites with words that are meaningful to me. However,the librarian in me knows that when it comes to sharing these tags we're talking about nothing short of a nightmare!! Oh, for a controlled vocabulary. Our district ITT's, when they decided to set up a joint del.icio.us account, spent a couple hours debating over common tagging terms so it wouldn't be unwieldly with ten people sharing it.
