More Info on Photo Sites

As I was looking at the April edition of School Library Jounal (and yes, I'm definitely behind in my reading), I found an article by Steve Hargadon that suggests other photo sites. David Jakes has put together more information on using Flickr http://www.jakesonline.org/flickrsites.htm and has additional links, information, and presentations on Flickr. Another photo site that describes itself as "fast, easy, and fun" is Picnik http://www.picnik.com/. This looks like a good site to start with if you want to do some editing or add special effects. Then, if you just want something really cool, check out Cooliris http://www.cooliris.com/. I first saw this site at the CUE conference a year ago and it is truly amazing. The site states, "Meet Cooliris, the 3D Wall that speeds up search on Google Images, YouTube, Flickr, and more. Enjoy the richest way to view photos from Facebook, Picasa, and even your computer." I agree with Steve Hargadon's statement that this plugin "transforms searaching for photgraphs into an amazing visual experience." Have fun!
