Hello Flickr & Evernote! How Do I Love Thee?

OK, why have I not hopped on the Flickr bandwagon until now? Why didn't I join it earlier?
I think because I had thought it was a public place to share photos, I didn't realize you could set privacy settings so only family & friends can see which is important to me.


I am loving how Flickr allows you to write notes underneath the photo, a huge feature for me as a hobbyist photographer and scrapbooker. That is so cool! Goodbye Kodak Gallery & hello Flickr for me!

Flickr seems to be working with Snapfish as a developer and I am a diehard Kodak Gallery fan so we'll see. It does seem to be that there is always a relationship made between one of this major tools and another company (Flickr & Snapfish, iPhone & AT & T etc).

Oh yeah, I'm suppose to talk about the educational benefits of Flickr! :)

In Richardson's chapter on Flickr, the description on how to find out the origin of where a photo was taken or uploaded was really cool but a bit scary too!

I can definitely see how Flickr can be used in an effective way in our Photography classes we have at my school, where students can share and critique their work. For history related topics, though, you could also do a search of Civil War photos, for example, and great pictures come up. I really think history classes would find it very useful too.

Evernote is another amazing program! Good-bye "favorites" feature on my computer! This is exactly what I need, especially now as a librarian. I can see why Bryan calls it his right hand when searching on the web. This program is so helpful. It may be worth upgrading to the premium account.


I have to explore StumbleUpon more and that too looks great! It is like your own personal search engine or favorites site! My favorite menu bar on my PC has a LOT of pages on it! This seems more doable.


When I did a quick "stumble" for photography, the first webpage I came too had photos of Star Wars stormtroopers posing in funny position (not R-rated) but very very and humorous! I never would have come across that if I didn't stumble upon it. :)


I am blown away by the sheer innovation of these tools. We really are in the midst of a technological revolution and we're smack in the middle of it! So cool!
