A Daily Dose of Interesting Photographic Inspiration from Flickr Top 10 Tips for Getting Attention on Flickr UPDATED: Top 10 Tips for Getting Attention on Flickr Updated article here. At present over in the Flickr Central forum at Flickr (almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world) there is a debate going on between those who look at Flickr as a “numbers game,” and those who find the “numbers game,” a distasteful and unfortunate side effect of popularity on Flickr. I’ve been using Flickr for about a year now and during this time one constant I’ve seen is regular bickering amongst Flickr members about this topic. I suppose any time you put a bunch of people in a room somewhere there will always be those who get more attention and those who get less attention. Of course admitting that we are obsessed with popularity is a somewhat unpopular thing to say in the first place as we all are fond of saying things, like, sure “I get lots of traffic, views, comments, favs, mentions on blogebrity, etc., but it’s not my motivation, my motives are pure.” Indeed. 1.
My Friend Flickr: A Match Made in Photo Heaven (Library of Congress) If you’re reading this, then chances are you already know about Web 2.0. Even if you don’t know the term itself, you’re one of millions worldwide who are actively creating, sharing or benefiting from user-generated content that characterizes Web 2.0 phenomena. As a communicator, I want to expand the reach of the Library and access to our magnificent collections as far and wide as possible. That’s why it is so exciting to let people know about the launch of a brand-new pilot project the Library of Congress is undertaking with Flickr, the enormously popular photo-sharing site that has been a Web 2.0 innovator. The project is beginning somewhat modestly, but we hope to learn a lot from it. The real magic comes when the power of the Flickr community takes over. We’re also very excited that, as part of this pilot, Flickr has created a new publication model for publicly held photographic collections called ??? And with that, gentlemen (and gentlewomen), start your tagging!

Priceless Images: Getting Started with Flickr They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Some images are priceless, capturing a moment, a person, or an event in time. One of the most important things we can do with our online presence is to take advantage of the graphical nature of the Web and the interactive nature of many Web 2.0 sites to make a big splash with pictures–images of our libraries, our programs, and ourselves. A cost-effective way to do this (and one that yields some benefits for outreach and interaction) is to use Flickr–that Yahoo!-owned, image-sharing community site you may have heard about recently. Using Flickr in Libraries In early August, I spoke at the Northeast Kansas Library System Tech Day. Educate yourself, your staff, your board of trustees, and governing agencies about social sites, like flickr, and the issues surrounding them. It’s inspiring stuff. It might seem overwhelming at first, but worry not–the best thing you can do is take some time and explore. Ten Ways to Use Flickr A Few Words About Money
idGettr — Find your Flickr ID Use the URL of your photostream to find the Flickr ID number (also works for groups). Flickr is a truly fantastic resource. Whether you're in the business of web design and need to find images for a new page, or you're simply trying to share your photography with the world, Flickr has something for everyone. One of the most common uses of Flickr is sourcing images under a Creative Commons license - if you're getting started on a new site or project, you're going to need some pictures. Unfortunately, many people go the stock photo route and end up overpaying for bland pictures, or simply using the same few “good” stock photos that so many other websites have taken advantage of. One very easy way of setting your site apart from the rest is to take fifteen minutes and track down some high quality original pictures and photographs to use on your site in place of boring stock images. At WebFX, we aim to make the entire Flickr process easier by providing this simple account ID lookup tool.
Find free images online - my list! Images are an important part of the creative side of any teacher’s work. We need to make use of good image sources that are good, free, and easy to search through. The trick is to know what sources to recommend to students. It’s not just about copyright – its about being practical, and showing students the wonderful world of possibilities beyond Google images or taking anything they find that is not actually in the public domain – a vital point as more students and teachers move into online environments of blogs, wikis and more. Including images with postings enriches the experience for the reader and can also help to illustrate or support the writer’s viewpoint. So adapting the Search Engine Journal collection of 10 Places to Find Free Image, here’s a bit of a list of ones I like. FlickrCC – my top favourite – and Australian too.
