Flickr & YouTube



Flickr is a popular web site to share personal photographs.  Anyone can set up an account and upload images and videos. Some of the key features of Flickr are tagging, marking photos as favorites, allocating the photo where was taken on a map.

Flickr provides both private and public image storage. While uploading an image one can set privacy controls that determine who can view the image friends, family or both. Privacy settings also can be decided by adding photographs from a user's photostream to a "group pool". If a group is private all the members of that group can see the photo. If a group is public the photo becomes public as well.

I like this website because I love to take photos. The entire process in Flicker was relatively easy. I enjoy uploading the photos for my trip to Dubai in Flicker.


Here is the link to my flickr account:



You Tube is one of the famous websites in the world. It is a video sharing website where users can upload, share, view, and save videos by having a google account. Videos uploaded to You Tube are limited to 15 minutes in length and a file size of 2 GB, however, user can upload and share unlimited videos.
  
 The process of uploading and sharing videos via YouTube is pretty easy. YouTube has a lot of great features for example, the ability of users to view its videos on web pages outside YouTube, the ability to save your favorite videos in your YouTube account, and the ability to fallow specific channels that you like.
  
YouTube has many educational advantages that teacher can get. However, teachers should be careful because as much as YouTube provides great videos, it also has inappropriate videos. In addition, Teacher Tube is a video sharing website similar and based on YouTube, which provides many educational videos that might help teachers and students.
