Sorry for being a little late with podcast number 2; we had some technical difficulties, plus we’re going to be changing our publishing date from Friday to Mondays. Hopefully when you wake up Monday morning, the podcast will be waiting for you.
In our second podcast we talk about our photo of the week, contributed by Amy, and how she captured her first attempt at night photography.
Also, we spoke about the Firefox add-on, Flickrfox, that makes browsing through photos on Flickr extremely easy. In future podcasts we’ll be highlighting more of these tools, so if you have a favorite let us know.
Presidential campaign efforts to use social media to reach potential voters and rally their troupes was also a topic. It’s interesting how politicians and others are using Flickr and other social media tools to create a sense of participation in their campaigns.
We also discussed why people might use Flickr even if they don’t really have any photos to share–to increase their Google ranking!
And finally, we talked about a neat Flickr tool created by Drew Myers that allows you to find any photos your contacts have that may have made explorer. Tools like this are made because Flickr makes their application programming interface (API) public. Google and others do the same thing. In future shows we’ll highlight people that create “mash ups“–mixing two or more tools to create a new application.
Finally, we want to thank Chi Weapon for the use of their song Kanji. They’re a band from Scotland that has some great podsafe music. Check them out!
