Using Flickr (Week 3, Exercise 5)

Okay, so I have finally started using Flickr and uploading my own photographs for public view. Interestingly enough, I really started using it because MySpace does not accept pictures over 600KB and most of mine are over 1M. MySpace has been an excellent place for me to interact with my siblings using multimedia, from photographs to videos to audio tracts. (I look forward to recording podcasts... heeheehee). Anyway...

Annoying Flickr traits:

-I can't seem to go back and add descriptions, titles, or tags after I save the picture.
-I'm still not sure about the whole privacy thing (leading me to not actually state anyone's name in my descriptions).
-The Creative Commons is not the most intuitive thing to use (where do we find the citation info?), which leads me to...
-A long list of instructions and FAQs to figure the bloody thing out.

Check out smugmug.com, another image hosting site or Google Picasa as alternatives to Flickr. Maybe they will have more appeal for you.
