Thing 6
I thought I was fairly up-to-date on photos...yes, of course, I store them online. They're from a digital camera, after all, and editing them into cool photo books make us look like we're a lot more skilled at photography than we really are. But I wasn't using Flickr and had another lightbulb moment when watching the Common Craft video: you can tag them and sort in a non-chronological order. Amazing. There goes another non-challenged assumption based on pre-web 2.0. It seems like such a simple (and obvious) idea--to label and categorize photos for future sorting--but it honestly had not occurred to me. Up until now, I've treated online photo storage as the digital equivalent of a real life photo album.
