I’m excited for this historic day, and though it would be fun to be with the thousands who’ve traveled to D.C. (including my parents!) I’ll be watching from home. That’s where I’ll start at least. Most people are familiar, if not involved in the conversations that technology has allowed us to take part in. From blogging and micro blogging to photo and video sharing it’s easy to get a closer look at events from people who are involved.
I was browsing through flickr and came across the amazing photo above. If you’re not familiar with flickr, well… yes you should take a look! Whether you have photos to share or want to see what’s going on at an event or area, it’s the largest network of photos from people around the world. Flickr 101: You can tag photos so that they are searchable, place them on a map so you can see what’s happening in an area, and add similar photos to a group pool where they can be viewed together and talked about. I found these Inauguration photos from the group Inauguration 2009 and am excited to see what people post throughout the day. If you’re reading this and have something to share from the inauguration leave a comment or add to the conversation!
