Thing #7

I have heard a lot of hype about the site Flickr, but have to admit that I never really knew what it was all about. I did understand it was for photo sharing, but I figured it was like other sites I have visited before. However after searching through Flickr, I instantly understood why it has such popularity- users can upload and create "stories" with their photos. The search engine is easy to use and accurate while finding specific tags for photos or groups of photos. One reason why I enjoy this site compared to others similar to it is because it is interactive and has a sense of "community" to it. I could easily see Flickr being used in a school setting for students to search photos for projects.

I chose this photo because I love the colors; summer can't get here soon enough!
