Sharing Images

Creative Commons seems great, seems straight forward.

I thought I'd include a topical photo, I think I'll try just a link as the safest option. If I can figure out how to do it.

Photo sharing seems like it could be fun and I'm sure we can think of creative ways to use it in a library environment, but I'm unconvinced of its general usefulness to a library. Maybe I just need to have a look around a bit more.
Blogs seem like a good idea but I think you've got to have a clear idea of what your purpose is. The process of choosing a blog title, username, password etc is rather harrowing. In a library environment this may be easier because it would be something related to your library.

I'm looking forward to learning about the different technologies, I consider myself fairly web savvy but there is a lot I don't know or have any experience of, RSS for instance or mash-ups.
