Hero

One of the dangers, at least for your Oude Granny, of working in a university setting is being surrounded by intellectuals. In their presence, I revert back to your average 3 year old; veritable sponge of knowledge.

As a blogger, I, we, are active participants of what Tim O'Reilly coined, Web 2.0, or using the web as a platform to facilitate collaboration and sharing among its users.

The applications, for business let alone education, are boundless.

One of my favorite social networking objects these days is FLICKR, a web-based photo sharing site. It isn't exactly new to the web, but the way its users are applying its collaborative ("social") properties is amazing! One such application is Visual Story Telling, or using 5 photos to tell a story. "Gender Miscommunication," by nightingai1e is one of my favorites.

So rather than write about Floyd Landis, I thought I'd tell his story in two sets of 5 photos. The first, titled "Hero." (I'm sure some of you can already guess what the next set will be titled).
