Thing 9--Sharing

It's not that I'm not interested in sharing, but I don't have any pictures on Flickr or anywhere else to fiddle with. If I did photographs, I wouldn't post them, because I wouldn't want to bore people. And let's face it, the only thing more boring that one's own vacation pictures is everybody else's. Having said that, I can see where some of these things might have their uses for the things that are mentioned. It's handy to know they exist in case one can think of something to use tools like these. This is where having designated staff with both public service experience and technical skills are handy. Were I to have an inspiration, I could get in touch with one of these people and explain the kind of information I'd like to display. They could advise me on a tool that, at least in my case, is technoskeptic-proof and would display the information to its best advantage. It wouldn't be all that different from the colleagues we pester now when we get queries outside our areas of expertise, from genealogy to business to goodness knows what. Sometimes the Mark 1 Carbon-Based Interface is the best tool of all.
