This week's assignment is fun, interesting, and informative. I first heard of photo sharing accounts when Yahoo was threatening to delete all photos in personal email accounts so they could bring in their new baby, "Flickr". This was during a particularly stressful period of my life and I was unable to spend the time to learn how to transfer my photos. The deadline came and went and I lost all my wonderful photos.
So this was my first attempt to actually learn about the service Flickr provides. I have used Youtube before and always enjoy an opportunity to view something of interest. Both services are quite user-friendly and I may even explore using Flickr in the future (despite their horrible way of forcing everyone to use their service)...
As with all of these services and sites the quality, entertainment value, and usefulness of content rests solely with the end user. How utterly democratic and completely wonderful. I only search for and use postings that are funny, engaging, or useful to me. I was able to use Youtube when I forgot how to bind off a knitted scarf (oh, those early knitting days) and again when I have tried to learn more advanced knitting techniques. And yes, I listened and watched that OK GO video many, many times, but I enjoyed every minute and brought smiles and laughs from others who enjoyed my dancing and singing along. Now that's quality entertainment!!
