Flickr

I had heard of Flickr before but had never bothered to use it since I already have two photobucket accounts. However, now that I have played around with it I feel that I may use it in the future, if only to receive inspiration for my own photo shoots or examine different techniques used by other Flickr users. Unfortunately I do not know if I would be willing to upload any of my artwork yet since I have still not gathered up enough courage to post my artwork anywhere on the web.

I found Flickr very easy to use however, this may be slightly unjust since I was given many of the links. When examining Flickr on my own I was able to navigate easily throughout the page. The only issue I had with Flickr was having to set up a Yahoo account in order to use it but the website was amazing and as of yet I don't have any complaints.

Although I have not searched for any other mashups as of yet in my free time I plan to see what interesting ones I can find. I think it is a really cool idea. Of the 5 examples we were given This is how I feel about each one...
