Flickr is a photo-sharing network. What can we learn from it? Maybe we can learn photography on it. Is it useful in academia? This article tells us Flickr can serve as a database in which subject-relevant images may be searched for/consulted/viewed/used. The study addresses three main question: What types of images tagged with academic terms are posted to Flickr and how do they differ between subject areas? Are some subject areas more frequently represented in Flickr? Does term-frequency analysis of accompanying tags provide any additional insights into the types of images investigated and the reason for their placement? The study process mainly includes images tagged, image content analysis, and term-frequency analysis of associated tags.

Creative Commons is a way of protecting the rights to your work as you share it online. It's an alternate to traditional copyright, and it has a variety of options (including remixing) for permissions/use. Flickr makes use of CC licenses, as do many repositories. Totally worth checking out.

This, among other things, is taking our very restrictive concept of ownership to a much more productive and logical level, especially in this age of global knowledge. Many praises for CC.

Here is an example I use every day as a bookmarking tool on my navigator: I use Toby on Google Chrome which allows me to create several spaces/organizations/collections to organize my online resources. I am starting to think that I am blind to the "tag feature" of the tools I use because, you're gonna laugh, this one ALSO has a tag feature, and I don't use it. Does anyone have tried Toby?
