Discourse Community

Raise your hand if you've herd of Flickr. Flickr is a photography website that lets users up-load and share their photos. Is it gender based? Not exactly. The home page is updated hourly with its users photos that range from landscapes to pets and romance to guns. 

You can put your hands down now.

I too love some Flickr. We use it mostly to post and share pics with friends who are far away. I never really thought of it as a discourse community, but I can totally see it now. It uses images and language to lead you through how to use the site and also to create a sense of belonging at the site.
Great choice to discuss.

Ben,

You tell me a lot about yourself in your Technology Bio and it is all very interesting.
We have something in common, a love of photography. I hope that as you develop this particular blog, you will include some of your images. I would like to see them. I look forward to reading future postings. Donna
