Careful with photo blogs like Flickr! If you choose to post your own pictures, consider you might be agreeing to their free and public use. This is what happened to a 16 year old girl whose picture was used in a Virgin Mobile Australia campaign ad, which referred to nothing less than her virginity. Flickr uses Creative Commons (creativecommons.org) as the licensing organization for the pictures posted. If you don’t want your pictures used in any way or in certain ways, make sure you accept the appropriate licensing agreement through Creative Commons or… don’t post them online at all.
This reminds me a bit about the articles we read in class about the social networking sites where students post anything about themselves, believing that these websites are their own world and that prospective employers don’t check them out. How does Flickr relate to say, Facebook? Simple. They’re both online, you’re stuff may get as public as they can get, and the information may be used in ways you hadn’t even thought of.
