A picture tellz a thousand (key)wordz

After doing a case study of Flickr for my thesis, one of the key points regarding connectivity is Flickr’s view of photos as a tool that prompts interactivity. As expressed this post's diagram, photos no longer lie dormant in photo albums, online they become “living entities” that are used as a resource that foster online activities. They add description to Websites, they enrich online libraries, they attract our attention in self-made slideshows, and they even become the instigator of dialogue between users. Photos once relegated for private collections have now been opened up for public consumption, and Flickr has upheld such opportunities by developing places “for the audience to take part in the action” (Shedroff 227), by permitting them to generate metadata to the library of the service.

In an analysis of the current trends found in Web 2.0, it is important to review it’s position in the context of the historical evolution of the Internet. By doing this, it makes the task of understanding how it came into being, the pioneering vision and objectives behind its development and its possible directions in the future much more definite. For this reason a timeline that tracks these events is presented here.
