Practice In Context

I have found some online articles about Flickr or the Web 2.0 technology.

The most interesting of all is Photolurking. The term sounds somehow creepy and made me curious to find out what exactly it means. But my discovery is not all about a new technology term for photography or Web 2.0, in fact it is an act where users flicks through photo album of strangers for some emotional kick. The article was found from Guardian which explains everything you need to know about photolurking.

Stewart Butterfield the founder of flickr, gave an interview which could be found in the O’Reily website. Additionally, there is podcast of their interview earlier about Flickr, which I presented in the class.

This is an article found on Guardian few years before about users threatening to quit Flickr when it was bought over by Yahoo!
