Joining the Flickr Generation

Published by Nick Ladd | Filed under Web Publishing

As you can probably tell, I just started this blog a couple weeks ago; officially breaking my self-imposed rule of not jumping on the latest internet bandwagon. I decided to go ahead and shoot the moon and jump on to one of the latest crazes called Flickr. Okay, I know what you’re saying, Flickr has been around for quite a while (in perspective of the internet time continuum) but, like I said, I’m not one for fads and realize that even if I tried to be I would always be three steps behind.

Disclaimers aside, I have to admit that Flickr is an amazingly powerful tool to easily (keyword) post and share my photos with friends, family, and my two blog readers (my fiancee and the random bot that spammed me). So far I have been impressed with the simplicity of the software while still allowing a good amount of depth to catagorize and make your images searchable. Personally, I’m a bit weary about all of the built-in ’social-networking’ features (I hardly socialize in reality, why would I do it online) but, hopefully it’ll will be a good place to get some good (and probably a lot of bad) advice about the photos I post. Heck, maybe I’ll even get a couple visitors to my blog from it

Here is a useful article that I’ve found useful:
