Nonprofit and Flickr Resource List: Not listed, Add in the Comments
The Flickr for Nonprofits Affinity group will meet in Washington, DC on April 4 at 1:00 PM (check agenda) to share experiences, tips, and ideas about how Flickr can be used to support nonprofits and their programs. It's great that NTEN let's anyone who is passionate about a topic set up an affinity group. Given my interest in flickr that's why I set one up last fall. I'm excited that a few of us can meet face-to-face!
Here's a few resources that might be of interest:
How to do you explain flickr to those who haven't heard of it?
Flickr is a web-based digital photo sharing application that uses tags to facilitate finding people and photos. It isnât simply about putting your photos up on the web for the world to see. What if you could invite other people from the around the world to have discussions about those images? What if you and your colleagues could annotiate these photos with your own descrptions and observations? What if you could become part of an online community that contributes images of similar topics for you to consume? And, what if you could subscribe to an RSS feed so anytime a new picture was added about a topic you care about, were studying, or writing about - it would come automatically to you?
