Images



Both of the links I explored for this chapter are from flickr.com. I have never used Flickr before so I was very surprised and happy with the features I found. I learned that you can browse Flickr photos without an account, you only need to make an account to if you want to upload photos. I also learned that Flickr allows you to store 1 terabyte of images on their site! That is so much! Lastly, I learned that you can search images for what they are tagged by. This is the tag that I found for pictures about Biology.
The second link I looked at was also on Flickr, but it was exploring their creative commons sections. Their creative commons section has over 258 Million images! They also have them under different licenses: Attribution, Noncommerical, No Derivative Works, and Share Alike Licenses, as well as combinations of each. It is also really useful that Flickr has the definitions of these licenses on the side of the page, so every user can use the licenses consistently without getting confused on the technicalities.
