Keeping up is hard to do . . .

I love technology . . . seriously. In many ways its makes things VERY convenient. But keeping up with it all . . . that's a bit more challenging.

So I created a Flickr page . . . I've got a big one pictures but here it is . . .

For those of you who know her, this was taken at the party held at the hotel after the reception for Alicia's wedding . . . there's a back story on the hat . . . but you'll have to bribe me to tell . . .

As to the technology, Flickr seems like a great way to share pictures, or in the case of the VHS, digital images of any number of things in the collection . . . but I wonder about the ability for people to post comments. I know a concern that's gone around regarding patron comment books and so forth is how you handle comments that are inappropriate, inflammatory, offensive, etc. The same applies here. On our own website obviously we can have oversight and filter any comments that we think would be more harmful than helpful. But do we have the same level of control over items we post on Flickr?

And then, if you start filtering comments, you start getting complaints that you censor things in your favor . . . so then you have to figure out how to combat that issue . . . but as a sharing method its certainly very attractive, especially since, with the tagging system, you can group items according to theme, exhibit, etc.

Okay, now let's see if I can work on the Week 3 stuff before the Week 4 stuff gets announced!!
