100 Images – New Flickr Account

Tuesday 18 November 2008 10:24AM

During my presentation, as I talked about photos from elsewhere in my ‘mikosian’ Flickr account leaking into the pool of 100 images, which I said could be remedied by removing tags from all other photos, the prof pointed out that I could have made a separate account that contained only those images. True enough, if I’d known where I was going to end up. When I first uploaded the 100 images to my Flickr account I had done so merely to take advantage of existing organizing tools and hadn’t thought they would remain there for their final archive/database form. It wasn’t until later that I found TagGraph, which does more or less what I’d envisioned for the final representational form and does it through the Flickr API.

But I’ve been thinking about this and today I created a new Yahoo/Flickr account ‘hundredimages’ (they wouldn’t let me begin a user name with a number) and the DM8305 100 images are uploading as I write. However, I can create a screen name and an easier-to-remember (and type) URL alias that starts with a number: http://www.flickr.com/photos/100images/

Of course, this means applying all those tags again…

11:25AM – IMPORTANT NOTE: TagGraph pulls information based on the Flickr *screen name*, not the user name or alias, which I found out when both ‘hundredimages’ and ‘100images’ returned a “(user not found!)” message. Just FYI.
