Assignment-3

I have not used Flickr before but have tried other image tools as Camtasia Studio 5 and Facebook. Similar to Flickr for sharing and storing images is Facebook. I did open a Flickr account to use it and tried to create a badge with some of my photos. I created the badge but was able to add it to my blog, some error message :-( . I am sure Flickr could be a benefit to share photos of authors, illustrators, new
book releases and so on.

Some of the tools would be useful. I can see mashups being a useful tool in bringing information together in one location. Bringing together various pieces of a theme based project for a website display to provide information to our library patrons.

I have not used any mashup tools, but a friend has used mashups or a similar process for slide show presentations of walking treks I have done in the United Kingdom. He has used Google Earth and downloaded from his GPS each days trek and then superimposed them onto Google Earth and added them to a slide show presentation. It's quite fascinating!

Thanks for your assignment! It certainly sounds like you are familiar with a range of web 2.0 tools already!
