I had a flickr account a couple of years ago, but my camera broke, and I sort of let it lapse. Now I have a brand new camera, so hopefully that will get me back in a flickring way.
For this exercise, we were supposed to take a picture of something in the library and post it on flickr. I think that DiMenna-Nyselius is a beautiful library, and I took some pictures of some of my favorite places. You can view them here.
For Thing 13 of the 23 Things, we were to explore tagging and social bookmarking. I’ve had a delicious account for a couple of years now, and have found it to be invaluable. It’s so nice to have access to my bookmarks from any computer, and being able to browse other people’s tags and networks has helped me to find some resources I might not otherwise have found. My latest discovery is newpages.com, a resource for literary journals and writing resources.
My problem with using delicious is my own laziness: it’s too easy for me to just add a link without a) commenting on it and b) without bundling my tags. Not only does this create a big tag mess, it also means I don’t fully participate in the social part of the social networking experience.
