Are you bored with your current background image? Need photos for your blog, or for a class paper? By using Flickr you can renew your whole image library in just a few minutes.In this week assignment, we were introducing to this new application Flickr. Flickr lets you search for the popular hosting service that use different criteria such as strings, tags, username or groups. You can download them to your hard drive an automatically let them run. The only drawback to Flickr is that it doesn't let you select which photos you want to download from your search results: either you download them all or you get none. So you better refine your search parameters if you don't want to end up downloading a zillion images.
Dr. Ellis and I had another issue with Flick last week. When I was trying to join our group, it would not let me due to being a private group. We realize that we had to make the group public and not private. With ever learning experience come ups and downs. After playing with flickr, I really like this networking application and I plan to use it a lot more after this class is over.
Thanks Dr. E for introducing us to the new world.
