Good luck.

Week 3: #6 More Flickr Fun

Unless you have a lot of time to spend, many of these API’s and MashUp’s are for more capable computer users than me. I spenthours trying Trippermap and still couldn’t load it onto my blog. Flick’rs map was essentially the same thing.

As I was reading some of the top 10 Flickr mashups and wondering why I should spend so much time on these I came upon the perfect comment: “More of a time waster than anything else, Retrievr shows that programmers can do just about anything with the Flickr API”. This pretty much sums up my feelings on “These cool little tools”.

Yes!

Success, almost. I thought that the description on Flickr would show up on the blog (it appears when you are entering the post) but it didn't.

This is my second try at posting a picture onto my blog from flickr. My fingers are crossed.

Not There Yet!

If you looked at my blog yesterday you saw that my picture was retrievable but not the way it was supposed to be. I have printed out the "helps" and will try again.

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

Week 2 : #4 Online Safety

We have entered the new global community. Things are moving faster and faster and there is no going back. With one key click we can communicate with the world and it cannot be taken back. Just as you would take basic precautionary measures in the physical world, like locking doors, traveling in groups, or being aware of your surroundings, the same is true of the online world. I do feel that since the online world is so new and changing so fast we need to be even more careful of what we do online. Thankfully, alot of others are just as concerned and are making information available everywhere to help us have a safer experience on the internet. Avoiding the online world is not an option. We just need to keep up with online safety issues.
