Although I've seen Flickr pictures and photo albums from family members, I have not set up a personal account. I have, however, placed several photos on Facebook, which also allows tags and comments. And of course I frequently post photos on my other blogs.
Facebook, like Flickr, allows you to place your cursor over individuals in photos and identify who they are, although the person who posted the photo(s) can choose to tag one or more people in the photo or none of them. (I always feel sorry for the poor guy that's the only one not tagged in a photo.) I think it's also cool that Flickr allows you to view technical details about the photos, which I don't believe is an option on Facebook.

Welcome to Tangled Up in Info: Explorations 1 & 2
Actually "Tangled Up in Books" was my preferred title, but it was already taken.
Exploration 1 was fun reading, although I was quite familiar with much of it. The article on Web 2.0 from Next Space: The OCLC Newsletter was very interesting. Most of it was review but some of it wasn't. Into a New World of Librarianship by Michael Stephens was nothing short of fascinating. I found the article to be quite positive and optimistic. I'm hoping that people who are a bit intimidated by technology (and the Web) will be open to changing technologies and how they can help us help patrons. It's really more exciting than terrifying!
Exploration 2 was pretty simple, since I've been blogging for several years and already contribute to four blogs. (Hey, what's one more?) I'll have more to write later after I've tinkered with 2.0 a bit more.
