You Oughta Be in Pictures: Sharing Photos

I enjoyed the TopTenReviews video and their website. They had several reviews that I checked out.

I have been using flickr for several years. I use the pro version of the site because I wanted to do more with my pictures. Photobucket seems to be quite similar. I have downloaded and occassionally used Picasa. It is an easy way to find and look at all the pictures you have on your pc.

I also use Facebook, though I keep forgetting to upload pictures. Sometimes it seems like there is a lot to do to have everyone be able to see your pictures. You upload to flickr and then you have to upload to Facebook. I haven't done much with sharing pictures on Facebook. This may be something I will look into more.

I like the ability to choose who sees my pictures. I do not share them across the web with few exceptions.

Pot Luck: Getting the Most Out of Facebook

I started using Facebook with the first iHCPL. My cousin got me to seriously using it. She is in college in Virginia and it's a fun, easy way to keep up with what is going on with her. I also have several friends that I keep up with this way. I don't have tons of friends and like it that way.
I do have a number of applications that I keep up. I have fun with (Lil) Green Patch and (Lil) Blue Cove, the ongoing Snowball Fight! and Pieces of Flair. From the previous iHCPL posts, I have added Visual Bookshelf, but need to do more with it. I've become a Fan of HCPL, Doctor Who, Stargate and others.
I was glad to have the information on 10 Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know. I changed some of my settings right away. I am very particular about how far my info goes.
I have added friends to my account and found friends to join me. I have occassionally chatted with people, catching up or passing on information.
I enjoy using Facebook as a way to keep up with friends and relations. It's a fun site.

Week 8 - Social Networking

Well, I'm back from vacation and mostly missed the Horizon meltdown.
Now, I had signed up for Myspace and Facebook accounts sometime ago to see what they were like. And because I have a Yahoo account, I've logged into Yahoo! 360. I just don't really get the point. I know the kids are able to put up wallpapers, and other stuff on their sites. I have not been able to figure out how to do this and it all seems to take a lot of time. Also, it is frustrating to use Myspace at work because you have to keep clicking past the restricted page.
Looking at some of the other social sites:
Xanga lets you look around and seems to make it easy to change themes, look at pix, videos, etc without having to register on the site. The HGTV site looks like fun. Catser is also fun. Ning seems like an OK site. You can search for groups that interest you.
I guess the answer is, if you are young and like keeping in touch with Myspace, or Facebook or whatever site you use, then great, but this is not my thing. I would rather blog.
