14. More Flickr applications Flickr API allows for many 3 rd party applications Take advantage of uploading tools: email, mobile, desktop clients Slideshows, Facebook applications, more

15. Uses of Twitter: www.twitter.com Keep in touch with friends/micro-blogging Ask for help Professional development Keep up with industry trends (use instead of or complement to RSS) Share industry news/articles Promote yourself or organization by sharing links (to blog, flickr, YouTube etc.) Conduct an informal survey Back and forth communication like chat – either with the "@" reply or the "d" private reply Connect "on the go" with mobile tweeting

16. How do you maximize Twitter? Build a community – find people to connect with via Twitterpacks, looking at your friend's contacts (and who they are sending reply tweets too), running searches on Twitter for folks with similar interests, adding folks who add you (after viewing their profile and seeing if they are relevant) Don't be afraid to directly connect with people you don't know – strength of weak ties! Use a twitter application to manage your twitter account (Twhirl, Snitter, Digsby, etc.) Connect Twitter to other web 2.0 apps (Facebook, Flickr, blogs)
