This week I'm playing with flickr as part of the Learning 2.0 program. Interesting, as I've never bothered with flickr before.
I love playing in the 2.0 environment and wish I had more time. However, the major challenge for me as with many of the web 2.0 tools is the whole public vs private thing. I love the interactivity of the web...the ability to share information and images...and have people leave their comments on my 'stuff'.
What bothers me is who I may be sharing this 'stuff' with. I'd blog obsessively and post photos and vids as a great way of sharing events with distant friends and family. But how much does the world really need to know?
Sharing a photo of a sunrise is easy. Putting up a photo of the kids is entirely different. What do you think?

Hi Anita,
This is often the most problematic thing for people when it comes to collaborating on the web. But, happily, what is happening more and more is that you can choose to make things private (or share with just friends or family). This can be done on wikis, blogs, flickr, youtube (if you are a creator) online word applications etc...you just put in the names/emails of the chosen few and they will be invited to read/view your site. With blogging, wikis and online docs you will have the option of making your site undetectable for search engines too. My children's grandparents live O.S, and I am feeling more comfortable with posting photos on flickr that they can see easily without downloading emails that take hours!
Beautiful sunset btw!
Regards
Leslie
