Week 3

Having some Flickr fun, I discovered so many useful features, and I especially liked all of the organizing and limiting features.

Who said that mashups were just for potatoes? The Pixels to Penguins is an interesting site, but the music is just plain wierd!

Some of the coolest technologies out there, not really related to Flickr, but definitely related to images, are the mapping technologies. I love the ease with which we can now plan automobile trips using mapquest. Really fascinating are the sattelite maps found on various sites (mapquest, google, yahoo, etc.), and the options for street map/sattelite map hybrids. Checking out our library, we could see each individual car parked in the lot!
