I found flickr very easy to use. I had done some photosharing through pictures I purchased of my daughter through Sears. It was easy for me to share them with people via their email addresses. However, I hadn't used them for work purposes. I will have to add my photo to facebook when I get home as I can't access it at work. I can think of some ways that libraries and their patrons can use online photosharing. I have a kiosk project that was pictorial and used tutorials from the National Library of Medicine. I had an extremely hard time trying to find medical images. If I had known about finding images which can be used as long as the picture's source is acknowledged, that would have been a lot easier. I think this would be a good way to share photos from interesting cases from morning report with others.
I thought it was good of the Library of Congress to be so forward thinking and partner with Flickr. The photos from the 30s can be preserved digitally rather than in paper. This eliminates the problem of deterioration.
