Web2.0

This review is based off my personal experience of using Flickr. From the start of navigating the site was easy, as you connect to flickr.com you are prompt to create a user account or jump straight into searching images.  Creating an account is simple, as flicker.com allows users to just signup with a yahoo account.  Once an account has been created you can basically just start uploading photo with ease, although I didn’t think the process of tagging photo would be an easy task for a new user of the internet. After figuring out the tagging system everything else just falls right into place. Upon uploading images illustrating blogs I noticed there was 4,403,722 photos that are tagged with blog. I would recommend Flickr to anyone who likes to share content but there is similar program that do the same thing and offer different options also.

In a SolutionWatch blog  about L8r is a new service that lets users create an email and have it delivered at a specific time in the future. what L8r has done is combined this idea of sending an email at a later date with email reminders and a focus on Getting Things Done. one thing they suggest using the service for is things like sending out birthday emails, reminding yourself to buy flowers on your anniversary, setting personal goals, and impressing your boss by “sending” an email late at night.

In a recent article of  TechCrunch  by Devin Coldewey titled Mobile phone companies appear to be providing your number and location to anyone who pays. It appear that companies are still able to request your number, location, and other details from your mobile provider quite easily, even after the disallowing in a ruling last March about this practice.
