#5 Discover Flickr

I have known about Flickr for quite a while and thought, Wow, what a great way to organize photos. They will no longer be sitting loose in shoeboxes in the closet or somewhere deep in the basement. Even my mom has a Flickr account!

And with the sites tags, labels, and sets features, users can identify who is in each photo and label when and where they were taken. Also, photos can be grouped into sets so you’ll never have to wade through 300 pictures of your childhood vacations to the Wisconsin Dells to find that funny photo of your brother in grade school wearing the corduroy leisure suit that you want to post on Facebook.

Flickr can be used as your own personal photo album or you can share your photos with friends, family or the entire globe by selecting the level of access others have to your account.

In reality, you still have to take the time to scan them, download them, upload them, tag and label them. But when I created my account I discovered that it is so fun that you can easily spend an hour or more there.

A photo of some of the café renovations at the 95th Street Library in Naperville, Illinois is tagged with PLCMCL2.
