Just wanted to add this pic, in case I hadn't already: Some nice textures here; good foreground/background contrast; nice lighting; and, of course, the ocean! I took this on an August 07 pilgrimage.

Flickr, mashups, & week 3...
I took the Flickr tour, explore, etc. Frankly, I'm not a Flickr fan. It's interesting, but I preferred the now-defunct Yahoo Photos. I was disappointed when they discontinued it, and after struggling with Flickr, even more so. It was easier to share photos, which, in my opinion, is the only reason to have pix on the web. I guess you can share with Flickr, but first of all it is a fee-based operation; and secondly it is convoluted and not user-friendly. The whole invitation feature and defining someone as 'friend' or 'family' is useless as far as I can tell.
The mapping feature is even more difficult to navigate. I just don't get it.
I liked the trading card website, and in fact used it for our latest library newsletter.
