Family trees and albums

Our last few genealogy group meetings have included things made with Flip Album, and other scrapbooking software, and photo collages. This got me to investigating a little more, and I found the Ohio Memory project's section where one can save images to a personal scrapbook, (which I did) and then Scrapbookflair.com, a FREE (one of my favorite words) site where I can create my own scrapbook with images I upload. My sister is the official family paper scrapbooker with the artistic flair, but I see real possibilities with the online versions.
Diverging a little here, I easily now have in the neighborhood of thirty different online accounts complete with passwords for various things . . . and the number increases daily!

Pictures

I know people who use Photobucket, Kodak EasyShare, etc., and have tried the latter myself. Does anyone have a preference for Flickr vs. another photo-upload utility, and why? I haven't done a podcast or streaming video yet, although have found a few really neat ones that other people have done. Am thinking it could be kind of neat to have our own library version of MySpace, where our photo comes up with our posts We have a lot of new people whose names I barely know, and the "friends of friends" aspect of it could be useful too for library-specific networking.

43 THINGS

Now I registered on "43 Things" to set some goals and keep track of my progress on the 23 things.

Flickr

It's been fun playing with Flickr. My niece took a cell phone picture of me that I saved and will try to post as part of my profile here. Right now it's in a file, but not an URL that I want to make public.
As for comments on the "7 habits" of life-long learners, probably the one I have the most difficulty with is having a "learning toolbox". I'm not sure my approach is that organized! The easiest is "playing", because who doesn't like to play?
This was even easier to set up than my MySpace profile. Now that I have an official, work-related blog, I hope I'll have interesting, relative things to post! Don't want to bore anyone.
