Project Play Week 6 continued

Okay, so I'm still behind, but as long as it gets done! :) I like Flickr and think it's a great thing. It will save me some much needed space on my hard drive. I can just upload the pictures onto the web. Then I can view the pictures from any computer that has internet access! Yippie! The problem is now just getting the pictures off of my camera - I haven't done that recently. I really like how Flickr allows you to choose if the picture is public or private and who you would like to share the picture with. That is really neat. I know in this day and age not everyone likes to have their picture shared with the whole entire world - (I don't!). It will let me easily share pictures with my friends without everyone having access.

I like the idea of being able to post programming and display pictures on Flickr. The only disadvantage is that everyone in the pictures needs to have given permission for the picture to be used. That means for children, parents have to sign stating that it's okay. Sometimes it's really hard to track down what adult belongs to what kid and have them sign a form after a large program. I wonder what other kinds of policies libraries are using in regards to photos of library patrons. There's got to be a better way of being able to do this.
