Photo Sharing

Today's exercise centered on sharing photos on-line ... both fun and useful. Apart from the obvious utility of being able (for example) to show grandma how gorgeous your kids are -- she'll certainly agree, but want the photos anyway, as proof for her friends -- it can definitely be useful at work as well. For instance, if your library offers podcasts of lectures or presentations, photos of the speakers, or photos related to the topic being discussed, can enhance the experience for the end-user. Students collaborating on a project within a Wiki might want to share photos or graphics relevant to the project. And photos can certainly enhance a blog, whether used for personal or professional purposes. I have added photos to today's blog entry; by looking at them you will no doubt be able to discern one of my favorite places.
