Back to the Beginning

Despite the fact that the "23 things" are described with ordinal numbers, I have found that the way down the web 2.0 road is not very linear. After surfing around the web for a while visiting Flickr groups and blogs, I decided to take the checklist approach to Learning Web 2.0. I have completed things 1 - 5 and in the midst of completing the Flickr activities. I set up an account and uploaded one picture-it looks a little familiar, no? I Have two contacts and joined a public group. As a librarian, I've enjoyed the discussions around "tags" from the information retrieval perspective. From the very general--wedding is in the largest type--to the almost nonesensical used by people to retrieve only their own images -- like the guy who posts a daily photo of the necktie he's wearing. (Thing #6)

  1. A daily photo of the necktie he is wearing. That's great. I think there is a lot of great discussion around tags and meta data, and works great as another layer to access information.
