Part 2

Ok, I was just checking on that first one to see if it really posted like I thought it would. I'm not real sure I experiences the full capability of mashups tonight. But I did like what I tried and I will definitely try it more. It wasn't quite what I expected. I thought it would be more creative really. Hard to explain. Two I played with are things I didn't post cause I was kind of disappointed. One was the spell with images mashup. I could only save the html of it. I wasn't sure how that'd show up in my blog. I made it for use with my book club anyway, so I'll have a chance to use that again later. My other experiment was the caption on a picture. I liked the idea cause I've had a specific need for that when doing my booktalks. But it was not at all what I expected. It was really intended to be used for speech bubbles! That's not cool. Or not what I wanted anyway. I made one, but it's not that impressive, so not posted. Thus, you have learned of tonight's endeavors.

Flickr Fun!

I'm on!! Now let's compare. Snapfish was the first web-based photo organization system that I used in an effort to share my photos. I've lost touch with it. I probably didn't attempt to utilize it's full features. Not much of a comparison I suppose. Let me try harder. Everything was by albums. Which was usually organized by date- by me anyway. Oh, difference- the first thing I noticed about Flickr- you can't edit those photos once you have loaded them! Yikes! Sorry for the sideways stuff! Although it was always so slow using Snapfish, I did edit them that way quite often- usually just rotating them and maybe re-ordering them. As far as organization in Flickr goes, I need to experiment more. I tried to mark favorites, but it appears you can only do that with other people's photos... I did like the ability to share your photos with anyway and, of course, see anyone else's on Flickr. I like the sharing concept. Tagging is different. I'm still considering the usefulness of tagging for me personally. I compare it to indexing of course as a librarian. But my photos are usually pretty well organized already... Oh that reminds me of another computer photo organization system I've used- Memory Manager by Creative Memories. Of course, that is more of a personal thing- not a sharing thing. Which is usually what I'm doing with my pictures because they are usually of family! I'm not so sure about putting my family out there on the net for anyone to see and/or use! Well, I could go on and on, but I that's less time to play....
