flickr

it is pretty cool with flickr you can browse and look at photos from events and other things that you were unable to attend or have never seen.  The best part is it is not just professional photography but it also everyday people.  Every gets photos that are amazing and wants to share them with a flickr account you can show the world your life or just a few snapshots of it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/krikit/2698126934/ heres an awesome image i found of rain in the distance.  Here is a cool thid party tool for flickr, PicMarkr.  It allows you to add 1 of 3 types of watermarks to your photos, Text, image or tiled.  Great if you want something to identify and mark your photos.

23 learning 2.0 webtools

Wow these web 2.0 tools are really amazing.  Every librarian should learn how to use them to better serve their patrons.  Youtube and Flickr would be really helpful in making the library a truly 21st century concept that is fully connected and integrated with these wonderful technologies.
