Once a community has determined its needs, however, utilizing open source software presents a more rapid, sustainable path to implementation. And speaking of images, we want to allow people to add notes like Flickr does. Open source software reacts to rapidly changing technology. Open source is a community-driven effort.

Getting involved in a social network, whether it be something like Facebook or Myspace, or a content-connected social network like flickr or delicious (I’m starting to get used to writing that without the dots,) is pretty easy. It’s great that I can follow all of the content (blogs, tweets, Flickr photos, etc.)

services like Twitter, Flickr and Facebook, text messaging, all of these made this possible. depends largely on two things: open standards, and open source software. which is as technically transparent and open as it hopefully will be in actuality. Open Source software and open standards are the foundations of Web 2.0.

If you haven’t noticed QR Codes yet, after you read this post and browse the QR Codes on Flickr you’re going to start to seeing them everywhere. QR Codes are two-dimensional bar code images that when scanned by a camera on a smartphone open a link to a website, send a SMS, or dial a phone number. So, what are they?

To me, an open photo policy is a cornerstone of any institution that sees itself as a visitor-centered platform for participatory engagement. There are thriving groups of Flickr users who share photos of themselves imitating art. And I think the fourth and fifth are bizarre and ungenerous to visitors. And it's not just about recall.

I'm trying to embrace two ideas here - the idea of open source thinking and wikitation. Allison Fine 's book, Momentum, has a whole chapter on what she calls " Open Source Thinking ," and how it is key to successfully using these new tools. Open source thinking is sharing and remixing. That's a hard thing to do.

Another great opportunity you have with a blog is opening up your organization by allowing comments and dialogue. Whether you are asking for feedback, sharing stories, or urging people to take action, providing a place for your community to share back with you shows your openness to feedback and interest in the community.
