Yup I love the combined functionality of Camera phones. I think this technology is just so awesome! You always have a camera in your pocket and with todays technology. If you don't photograph it, it just didn't happen. Even though the camera on my phone is not the highest quality it still allows me to snap a photo when a Kodak moment arises. And I can:
-pxt that photo to whoever I want (like Mum when we are on holiday),
-email it anywhere in the world
-store it on my phone to show someone later when you are trying to describe something that you did or went to
or even
-send it to my Vodafone PxtWorld account.
-I could bluetooth the photos to my laptop
Then I would be able to upload the photos to my new Flickr account and begin photo-sharing.
And that is why I love Pxts.

exercise #5 - mashups
You could literally spend hours and hours looking at all the apps that are out there for Flickr.
I found Flickrbits really useful for finding more Flickr mashups. It's pretty impressive. The one that I have found the most interesting (thus far :P) is Retrievr This was really awesome because it uses a sketch that you draw to find pictures on Flickr. So while you are drawing using a pretty basic paint set, say you draw a red dot in the middle of the blank screen it will bring up images of a lady beetle on white space, or a maple leaf on a book or anything which matches the colours that you are entering but if you decide that the image you are actually looking for has purple spots in the corners you can add them straight away and it will be searching while you are drawing. Its very cool when you have a basic idea of the image you are looking for or want an image to match a colour scheme.
It also allows you to search using an image that you have on your computer for other similar images.
It is so interesting and I highly recommend checking it out!

exercise #4 - photomania
This was a fun and interesting task. I think I will even continue to use this account with my personal photos.
The only thing I hate is having to use a yahoo login. They are so impossible to create! :P I find their password restrictions annoying and will probably quickly forget my login, good thing they have my actual email address to send it to when I do.
I took 2 photos on my cell phone while at work today which I posted to Flickr. This is a photo of a dragon used in the holiday programme which Margot made and I coloured :D
