Flickr
I'm impressed. I've been reading a lot about the Web 2.0 but to me it's just what the web used to be like, before the corporate big boys got in there and took it over. Youtube and blogging and especially Flickr is about sharing things. I love it, I love that you can upload images of traction engines, I love that you can set privacy on your photographs so that you don't have some pervert humping his fist over pictures of your gnomes. Most of all I love that you can put your own pictures up and just keep going back hoping that somebody will comment, that's right, begging for approval.
Jesus, there's EVERYTHING there. You can search for tags like 'scooters' or 'lamps' or something totally bloody obscure and you will get a hit back.
What I like though is the quality. There are loads of good photographs there. It's beyond blogging, where there is a huge amount of dross and very little decent content, rather, the cream seems to flat to the top. There are lots of great photographs of really interesting stuff and very few photographs of gurning teens in bikinis in a bar in faliraki.
There are lot of creative people out there with an eye for the curious - and it's being piped live into the world. Excellent.
