Web 2.0 - Week Eight

Flickr and YouTube... This week's reflection:

Comment on the quality, entertainment value, or usefulness of the content on these sites.

I'm not a huge user of Flickr - I have never been one for posting my own photos (except every now and then on Facebook) and not one for scrolling through others'. That said, I have found it helpful to hunt for images for various purposes. It is an amazing archive, but one I tend to go to only after checking out Google images.

YouTube is another matter altogether. :) I'm an avid user of YouTube both for entertainment and research/information purposes. Some of the recent things I've been up to on YouTube - practicing my Spanish listening skills by watching episodes of the Mexican versions of the TV shows "Wipeout" ("Resbalon") and "The Amazing Race en Discovery Channel"). Also checking out old favourites like the literal version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
