Techno-Babe

Two posts in one day! Ssssmokin'...

I just went through Thing 3 about Flickr which was immensely fascinating to me. I'm familiar with ImageShack, SnapFish and PhotoBucket, but had never explored Flickr before. It's the best image hosting site I've ever seen! Just looking at all it offers got me thinking about something I can do for a listgroup I own called Mystery Babes. It's a private listgroup of about 65 women, all either mystery novel readers or mystery/thriller/suspense authors. Most of what we do is post on our Yahoo Groups private web site, but many of us meet f2f (face to face) at mystery conventions and book signings. Usually one of us will take a picture of those of us present and post it on the Yahoo web site, but as some of the members are less than computer-literate and are seriously techno-challenged, finding where the pics are on the Mystery Babes site is more than they can handle. I'm excited about exploring all the Flickr has to offer and possibly finding a way to share our vast collection of photos with all the Babes.

Oh, and mash-ups are awesome! I'm going to pursue learning more about those on my at-home time. This is quite exciting!
