My name is Rakeem Christmas welcome to my blog. Like many of
you I am a first year graduate student in the IDD&E program. I look forward
to getting to know more about your topics. The topic that I chose was Flickr/Instagram.
Per Wikipedia
Flickr: (pronounced "flicker") is an image hosting
and video hosting website, and web services suite that was created by Ludicorp
in 2004 and acquired by Yahoo in 2005. In addition to being a popular website
for users to share and embed personal photographs, and effectively an online
community, the service is widely used by photo researchers and by bloggers to
host images that they embed in blogs and social media
Per Wikipedia
Instagram: is an
online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that
enables its users to take pictures and videos, and share them on a variety of
social networking platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr.[7] A
distinctive feature is that it confines photos to a square shape, similar to
Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect
ratio typically used by mobile device cameras. Users can also apply digital
filters to their images. The maximum duration for Instagram videos is 15
seconds.
This is the internet definition version of Flickr/Instagram but through the course of my blogging I hope to give you a more definite definition of how to use these platforms in various setting with other social networks.
