What is Flickr?
- The Best Online Photo Management and Sharing Application
Flickr wants to help people make their photos available to the people who matter to them. Maybe they want to keep a blog of moments captured on their cameraphone, or maybe they want to show off their best pictures to the whole world in a bid for web celebrity. Or maybe they want to securely and privately share photos of their kids with their family across the country. Flickr makes all these things possible and more!

Perspectives on Social Networking
In his acquired-needs theory, David McClelland proposed that an individual's specific needs are acquired over time and are shaped by one's life experiences. Most of these needs can be classed as either achievement, affiliation, or power.
Look at Me / Us – Need for Acknowledgement
Look at Who I / We Know – Need for Affiliation
Look at What I /We Can Do - Need for Power / Recognition
Look at What I/We Made – Need for Achievement
I see these basic needs as intertwining and intersecting with each other and forming the foundational motivation for social networking.
Studies in distance education have demonstrated that an over emphasis on social presence may be inversely correlated to the facilitation of cognitive presence. We can actually generate certain rules / mores / norms online as we generate community, trust and belonging so that we might circumvent risk taking, more critical inquiry and challenging viewpoints or the co-creation of new knowledge.
What is Del.icio.us?
Del.icio.us let you keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, restaurant reviews, and more and access them from any computer on the web. Share favorites with friends, family, and colleagues. Discover new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite - they've already done the work of finding it.
