I keep regular updates to one that tracks which of my photos have gotten re-used. This tweet by Beck Tench reminded me about the forgotten features of Flickr GalleriesĪlbums are a useful way to organize photos into meaningful topics, for specific events, travel trips, etc. Two things in the “now” (for future readers, this September 2021) triggered this trip. I won’t bug ya with the beauty of machine tags, but go dig for them. They implemented Creative Commons licensing early. Before they were things with # stuffed in front. I always aimed to present in web tools I was talking about, not slides with pictures of the tools- if it’s a talk about the web, then the presentation comes from there.Īh, I have drifted down my own memory dusting of what seemed clever back then What Can You Do With Flickr in 2021? So the pen on a notebook led to a flickr “post” on storytelling with photos, the note over the map led to info on geotagging photo locations, the pocket radio led to a discussion of “syndication” of photos (using them to post to blogs, dynamic flickr badges (killed with Flash), the computer mouse to a set of examples using flickr to do presentations. The notes I concocted for the image of messy items on my desk used them as metaphors for my answers, each one leading to another flickr photo that expanded on the note. Yes, flickr notes offered a way to annotate (or have annotated by visitors) an image… in 2006, this was the concept people are just discovering. I had somehow embedded the various portions of the “presentation” of these tools in the tools themselves, talking about YouTube in YouTube, a “tag” based presentation in (now dead)… anyhow, the one I feel worked best was the one above, What Can We Do With Flickr? where the original image in 2006 and still in 2021… functions the same.

That desk image abuve was part of a 2006 presentation for the K12 Online Conference called “ I Didn’t Know You Could Do That with Free Web Tools” yep right in the hyper height of Web 2.0 exuberance. The uploads are sporadic until November, when I traveled to New Zealand (there’s an album of like 70 photos), and get pretty frequent then on. The first few include stuff in Arizona a hike in the Superstition Mountains, a digitized copy of an old film photo photo of Antelope Canyon, some signs from Jerome. That’s when this one went up as my first flickr photo, a selfie as a rule follower. I can find photos I posted for any date going back to March 29, 2004. One of the nifty things about flickr is its organization via “Camera Roll” where you can find your own photos by using left side navigation for year, then month. Where is my flickr origin point? Flickr makes it much easier than the Big Popular One to find your own photos. I did blog on Apabout this presentation and the sum mention of flickr was a closing toss awayĪnd if you are into this stuff, check out Flickr Flickr was just an extra tool mentioned in the links, likely because I was still trying to figure it out. I centered the activities for this talk on BuzzNet, largely because I was using as examples the way a photography teacher at Mesa Community College was using it. Fotolog I recall had an international flavor, I think it might have been started in South America.

The talk was called “ Publish and Build Communities Around Digital Images” but was centered more on photo sites called BuzzNet ( now just some kind of celebrity rag) and FotoLog (now again just some kind of web site full of the same kinds of stories on other web sites, pretty much ad click bait stuff).īack then they were sites where you could create free accounts and share photos with some community features. I am rusty on how I found out about it, but my blog trail indicates I was interesting in what was then called “photoblogging” a topic I presented on at the April 20-24 TCC Online Conference. My “people” page affirms I joined in March 2004. Me and Flickrįlickr was launched in February 2004, in web years that’s like maybe the Devonian era.
