Flickr and Delicious

Flickr and Delicious

This week’s assignments were on two web 2.0 tools that I found very handy. One, I had used before and another that I was new to.  Flickr was a site or tool that I had used before. This is a great site to upload videos and pictures that you like and want to share. You can tag these so others can search and find them fairly easy. Another cool thing you can do is make projects. Things you can do are; calendars, prints, canvas prints, collages, and photo books. I like the fact that with this sited you can create groups and join groups. Then you can post pictures up to a group page.  Ok, so the coolest thing was the map feature. I liked that you could mark a place on the map where pictures were taken. This gives you an idea where you have been and also to let friends know where all your pictures were taken at.

The second tool I was not familiar with at all. The tool was called Delicious. At first I was a little skeptical about this tool. The more that I worked with delicious the more I liked the idea of it. The idea of this tool is to create a list of all your favorite websites and their links. Then if you are anywhere in the world you can log in and locate them. They add another feature to this where you can share these with friends or whoever and they can see your favorite sites. They then can visit them or you may have posted them to help others find certain things. A good example would be research sites. You also can see what the most popular links are and what others are seeing.  You also can tag these for easy searching and giving the viewer and idea of what each link is. Once you work with this site it gets a lot easier.
