Simply put, Flickr is a website where users can store and share their photos, label them with tags and tag other member's photos. Most of you have probably seen photos that were hosted by Flickr and some of you might even have Flickr accounts.Go to Flickr and cruise around a bit - browse through some pictures, notice the tags, do a few keyword searches. If you're feeling adventurous, create an account and upload some photos.
1. What is a tag cloud? (hint: check out the Popular Tags option on the Explore menu)
2. Check out the advanced search option. What does the term "Creative Commons" refer to?
3. Given what you have read about Web 2.0, how does Flickr exemplify Web 2.0 characteristics?
4. What is you favorite picture so far? (answer this question with it's URL)
