Thing 8 is Flckr and photosharing. I helped teach a class on Flickr last summer, but reading through the materials here has been an eye-opener. Not only did I learn about how someone's flckr photo was used in the movie Iron Man, but I also learned about mechanical tags and linking images to blog posts. This is all pretty cool stuff that I haven't really explored that thoroughly.
BTW, I uploaded this photo as part of a class I took at SLA 2008 in Seattle on Web 2.0 apps. We were asked to share an image of our workspace. It looks pretty much the same today as in the photo.
Personally I use Flickr to load photos I want to share with friends or have access to remotely from my computer at home. I don't share everything this way and admit that I forget about it every now and then. I really enjoy browsing other people's photos. One thing I like to do is if I'm planning a trip somewhere I am unfamiliar with, I check to see what photos people have taken to try to get a feel for the place. I also had one of my photos used in an online guidebook to Berlin. For work, I use Flickr mostly to find images for my blog posts.
I joined National Geographic's Intelligent Travel and Librarians' Desks groups. Both have been very interesting.
