Flickr! It's not just for fun anymore!

True story from the stacks: I actually used some of my newly discovered learning 2.0 tools assisting a customer this weekend. The gentleman in question wanted to upload a picture of himself to his yahoo profile and had no idea where to begin. No problem--I'd done that very thing whilst playing about with avatars. Next, he wanted to edit his picture. Not so easily accomplished on the library's software stations with a read-only CD...so I suggested he create a Flickr account, upload his pictures there, and set about tweaking them to his heart's content using picnik. Not only could he easily manipulate and save the changes there, his photos would be accessible to him from anywhere with web access. Although his computer time was up, he seemed v. intrigued--another convert to web 2.0!
