Tags for Flickr

Tags for Flickr I read two of the resources provided and did not learn any new information about tagging on Flickr.

I think that Flickr is a great site and I enjoy browsing on it. I also do think that the tags are important because it enables you to catalog your pictures and it allows people looking for specific things to see just those.

Flickr

I did not create a flickr account. I did, however, search the site and found some very interesting pictures. I like the way that you can post comments and declare pictures "winners". I am amazed at the talent that is there and some of the beautiful pictures. Thank you for an introduction to the site!

Web 2.0 Awards

While I was searching the nominees for the Web 2.0 awards I came across LibraryThing.com. I used this website last semester for my Information of Young Adults class at FSU. At first I wasn't very sure of whether or not I liked it, but once I searched it and worked my way around it, I think it is a great site.

It is especially helpful in a classroom situation where we were all using some of the same tags. It is also neat to be able to find books on subjects that might not be in a specific classifiation, but that would interest you.

Technorati

I found this site to be very frustrating. I could not find Blog Posts anywhere, so I could not search for Learning 2.0. I tried to explore this site, but found nothing that especially held my interest.

Tagging and Folksonomy

I do believe that I understand the concepts behind tagging and folksonomy. I think in certain instances they can be valuable, such as switching computers. However, I feel that there structure is too free and open. You might be able to obtain some good information, but in my opinion, it would make it singnificately difficult without having classification terms.
