Photo Sharing
This week, I played around with Flickr a bit. I’m still a bigger fan of Picasa because it works with my computer at home, and links with all my friends in gmail automatically. So, basically, Picasa works for me because I already have the account and can easily use it to share photos with my friends.
I do see the advantage of Flickr, though, since I did not have to download anything to my computer to use it. It was very simple.
As to library uses, I think of photo sharing as a way to advertise events or for digital collections, but can’t think of many other possible uses.
Here’s a link to my flickr account if anyone is interested. MAC 2007

I like Picasa for desktop organizing on my computer. For versatile sharing (other than Flickr) try zoomin.com, pixamo.com, or snapfish.com

Thank you. Although, I didn’t like snapfish because (and this may have changed since the last time I used it) you used to have to sign up to see any photo on Snapfish, and a lot of my friends complained that they didn’t want to have to do that.
