Stupid Flickr question
At Flickr: Do y'all set up the RSS feed so you know when someone comments
on your pictures? So you can comment back? I've never done that (I'm such a newbie to social groups. I subscribe to them and then I lurk. How social is that?) so I don't know if I'm being rude... well, some of you may think I'm always rude. I mean ruder than normal, LOL! K Barrett |

K Barrett Don't know anything about an RSS feed, but when I sign on, I'm shown new uploads by contacts and can switch that view to 'recent activity' which will show others' comments on my pics as well as followups on comments I've made on others' pics. |

OK, that's what I do too. But I log on so infrequently I see folk's comments like years later. Just wondered if there was a way around that. Guess I should log on more often, LOL! K |

Stupid Flickr question
Kathy
I have a yahoo e-mail address which is linked to Flickr so I also get a yahoo e-mail whenever anyone comments on my photos. The e-mail subject line reads "Recent activity on your photostream" and the body of the e-mail contains a miniature of my photo with the comments beside each photo commented on. I also get an e-mail when a friend/contact posts new photos. The subject line reads "New items from friends". Again, these e-mails contain a miniature of the photos posted by my friends. Clicking on these miniatures takes you to the Flickr page for that photo. An easy way to keep track of who's posting what. I also get a yahoo e-mail when someone send me a Flickr e-mail. Trust this helps. John "K Barrett" wrote in message ... "tenman" wrote in message ... K Barrett wrote: At Flickr: Do y'all set up the RSS feed so you know when someone comments on your pictures?

Stupid Flickr question
Thanks John, that helps. especially the idea about getting a thumbnail of
people's pictures. I'll have to figure out how to do that. I belong to a sheesh, what do you call it.... social network site called Crimespace for mystery/crime fiction readers/writers. Run by an Australian as it so happens... http://crimespace.ning.com/ I often think this is what the members only section of the AOS webpage should evetually look like. Of course I don't mention it to them 'cause I'd probably volunteer to help staff it, LOL! (Like I know what I'm doing). But the sheer volume of "stuff" available on crimespace is mindboggling, videos, podcasts, music, member pages, forums. That's why I lurk, there's no way to keep up with it all. And that's just crime fiction. Imagine what a Facebook orchid group would look like. Heck Stanford University is offering a 4 part class on Facebook. Their thrust is for parents to figure out what their children are doing, but I immediately thought what a way for orchid people to get together. Maybe that's the future. And speaking of which, have you (I mean anyone) ever gone to You Tube and looked for orchid videos? There are ones on repotting, ones for the various shows (I watched a selection on the last Taiwanese Orchid Show for example). Yeah yeah, I know, I'm showing my ignorance. or nieveity (however you spell it). I just gotta get out of my comfort zone. K barrett "John Varigos" wrote in message ster.com...

Naivete.......
Good idea about You Tube. BTW, when I signed up for Flickr I was asked to create a Yahoo email addie as well. I get the same notices that others have described. Diana "K Barrett" wrote in message ...

Part of the RSS feed is that someone can aggregate multiple RSS feeds to quickly determine their dose of NEW. I wonder if there's still the phenomemnon of RSS and Atom traffic spiking at the top of the hour... -- Chris Dukes davej eskimos have hundreds of words for snow. I have two. Bullshit. |
