Thoughts about Flickr etc


And now, having finished off the Images bit of this weeks' homework, I have to confess that I found the toys and gadgets section way more interesting than the actual photo-sharing bit. I wonder why (that's an actual question, as well as a metaphorical one). Is it something to do with me not believing that anyone in this world is interested in weird pictures I took of moss in Lewis Pass, or the fact that my cat is really grumpy today?
Wordle, however, is sooooooo much fun. As are several of the other image toys and tools I played with. I really liked the idea of the Flickr mosaic, but it took quite a while to upload and sort itself out. I chose 'leaf' as the theme, and the end result was pretty cool, but it was not speedy at all, and was quite patchy too.
I also really liked the colour matching tool, and have promised myself that I will go back and play some more.
Still struggle somewhat with justifying these things past the obvious 'playing with' reason, tho. I keep finding myself thinking, "Wow, that's great, but what am I supposed to DO with it?"
