Exploration 3: Flickr and Photo Sharing Communities

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.
