Thing 7 (part 1)

I've always known about Flickr, but have only ever browsed photos briefly. There are SO many! I liked having a better look this time around - I never realised there were groups, or that you could edit photos! That is really cool. I also loved the idea of interestingness, it was fun to browse them. So many beautiful photos...most of which were copyrighted, so no link to them here. In the end I decided to go to the Creative Commons page and searched for "eiffel tower" (of course!), and I found the photo Eiffel Tower at night by Alarzy which is an awesome shot...kind of looks like a bit from a sci-fi film! Tags are certainly helpful for searching, but it's still pretty time consuming browsing through the thousands (or more) it locates. The more keywords you use, the more sepcific you are, might have better luck...but only if the person who uploaded the photos tagged it the same way you think, I guess.
