Flickr sure beats Kodak

I have to admit that I first opened a Flickr account when I saw how Steve Lawson used it at his institution, Colorado College. I was amazed at its versatility. For instance, we have a clunky "virtual tour" of our library on our library's website that was considered cutting edge four years ago. This will be replaced by a photo tour using Flickr. I love Flickr for my personal photos, too. I have private  photos of a house my family owned for about 12 years in Niagara Falls. They are extremely special to me because the house brings back to mind so many good times. Also, because the house had to be placed on the Historical Register to be restored properly (it was built before the Civil War), the photos have a historical quality to them and are irreplaceable.  I uploaded copies to Flickr,  applied the private setting to them, and now the whole family can enjoy them. It sure beats Kodak EasyShare! More about Flickr later.
