Elsewhere Online: Flickr for newcomers

During last night's Internet Seminar, we talked a bit about Flickr.

For those of you who want to dive into Flickr further, here is a great article to get your started.

Flickr for newcomers

If you're trying to sell Flickr as a great way to post photos of your library's activities, or even to your mom so she can share all those great photos she takes of her garden, then take a look at this Newbie's Guide to Flickr from the Webware blog.

This is the most concise and complete explanation of what Flickr options exist, even better than what's on Flickr's own site (which isn't really a nice list, but rather long paragraphs with really important hyperlinks buried in the text, and that are the only way to access those features). Anyway...yes, take a look at this guide and integrate it into your own Flickr classes.

Having an alternative email account also insures you will keep the same email, even if you decide to leave your current ISP. Witness all the folks holding onto AOL accounts just to keep their AOL email address. Thank goodness at least that is free now. AT&T's Spam Filter Gets A Bit Too Aggressive You can certainly understand why ISPs offer spam filters. It's a service for users who don't want to be totally bombarded with spam. But what I've never understood is that these ISPs rarely give the user a

On my iPhone…IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS

IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS My best description of IFTTT, both their main web site, and this new iOS app is "a scripting language for the We." It allows you to set up "recipes" that watch one particular service, like Feedly, Evernote, Gmail and more, and then take action on another service whenever a particular action occurs. I use this to automatically save my shared items from Feedly and elsewhere into an Evernote Notebook and also use it to post automatically post information on a variety of services. The iOS app adds to this functionality by allowing you to take various actions on your phone and triggering IFTTT actions whenever they occur.
