Arts and social media

I use this site as a resting place for my recreational photo manipulations.

A social media site where everybody lists their professional qualifications. The division between presenting useful information on the one hand and shameless self-promotion on the other is nowhere less clear.

A large number of developers store their computer code on the site. The ideals of open source ( that source code should be available to anyone) are receiving popular attention, and GitHub plays a big role.

There are plenty of sites which allow people to share photographs. I've choose to upload mind to Pixabay because they favor high-definition photographs, they index extensively, and the resulting images are offered without licensing restrictions.

Though I was initially slow to appreciate Twitter, I am coming to understand this service more and more ( see also my twitter map tie-in as an example. )

YouTube is already a hugely important force and continues to grow rapidly. I don't have many videos myself but I'm learning. Here is a link to my channel.

I am slowly learning how to use Facebook. I think for many people ( or maybe it's just me) it isn't intuitively clear how to post words and pictures about your own life and still have a private self. I'll get there eventually.

Here is my Google+ page, a social media outlet for which I have yet to find a successful mode of interaction.
