Dusty notes that I have not been completely idle with following Learning 2.0, but have been most recalcitrant in posting to this blog.
The time has come to move from the childhood interest in "My friend Flicka" and move to the allegedly adult pastimes of my (new) friend Flickr. Neither, of course, would progress beyond round one of any spelling bee.
Dusty notes, again, that it took a while for the photos to appear on Flickr and it seemed that somethings was amiss. Great joys when last searched using "nswpln2008" and the most recent option, the tag of "ifla posters 2008". Well, I might as well add something worthwhile if possible.
Sometimes those who come late, are worth the wait.
Dusty notes number three that the Library of Congress has had some great success in generating interest in and feedback on the historic photos they have placed on Flickr. It's easy to see the huge applications for library photographic, genealogy and local studies collections. I was a bit disappointed in the comments made on some Australian War Memorial photos now on Flickr. However, I guess that the exchange of information beyond "Wow, great photo!" will occur. It can't all be dross.

Yes - Flickr is a weird and wonderful place. There are a few tricks with uploading to Flickr (five photographs as a starting number) but it sounds like you are managing fine. A lot of the online comments are like the ones you hear at photographic exhibitions, (nice photo and so on) and others are more detailed. You might like to be one of the more detailed commenters!
