Photos

Flickr is OK. I think it could be better. Using clusters and other tactics to find certain types of photos was not helpful. I think Flickr works well for a person who is browsing but not so well for a person looking for something specific. Why, you may ask? Because the tags used by people are wholly subjective.

I love this photo. It's perfectly cropped, the B&W tone adds to the drama and the dancing in the water emphases the movement of the dancers feet by producing a tangible effect.

Music

Listening to music has always been a significant part of my life because it's essential to my hobbies. I've used the SIL streaming product for classical music. It's a bit cumbersome. I also stream using XM Radio through the subscription I bought with my car. I listen to http://www.1.fm/ and www.king.org quite bit, too. I don't create my own chanels because I like a variety and like to be surprised with what is played.

RSS

In the past I've used Squeet. It was OK but it is no longer available. RSS is OK. Sorry, but I don'thave strong feelings on way or another.

IM

A long time ago I used AOL's IM service. After a while I just starting calling my buddies when I saw them. I prefer to hear thier voices and the nuances of interpersonal communation.
