Flickr was just an extra tool mentioned in the links, likely because I was still trying to figure it out. I centered the activities for this talk on BuzzNet, largely because I was using as examples the way a photography teacher at Mesa Community College was using it. Fotolog I recall had an international flavor, I think it might have been started in South America. The talk was called “ Publish and Build Communities Around Digital Images” but was centered more on photo sites called BuzzNet ( now just some kind of celebrity rag) and FotoLog (now again just some kind of web site full of the same kinds of stories on other web sites, pretty much ad click bait stuff).īack then they were sites where you could create free accounts and share photos with some community features. I am rusty on how I found out about it, but my blog trail indicates I was interesting in what was then called “photoblogging” a topic I presented on at the April 20-24 TCC Online Conference.

My “people” page affirms I joined in March 2004. Me and Flickrįlickr was launched in February 2004, in web years that’s like maybe the Devonian era.
