Flickr: One of many sites on the Social Web
We looked at all sorts of personal pages in today's class. One was flickr, a photo sharing site used by people around the world. Personally, I've gotten into flickr quite a bit and I'd recommend it to any amateur photographers. That's my photo of Mt. Rainier as posted to my flickr account last Saturday.

An meme flits across the Social Web
I had an idea yesterday that--thanks to all the social networking tools available these days--permitted me to share it with a posting on flickr. Michael Stephens liked it and linked to it in his nationally-popular blog. Overnight, my unique little photo mosaic was getting hits from around the country. It even showed up on a Japanese website. It was a great first-hand experience of life in the Social Web where memes propagate on their own.
