Flickr is coming up, as a problem case. One of my points will be “read the use agreements.” Another will be “possession is 9/10ths (at least) of the law.” The extent to which we offshore content to third-party providers is disturbing.

I’m only skimming until tonight when I’ll read in more detail so forgive me if this is off-base, but my first thought was Flickr for digital images as one possible intersection of digital preservation and social software.

I’ve been avoiding a major bookshelf task I might as well get over this month: I have two 7-foot bookcases and I need to shift all shelves down one notch (I’m taking a new approach with oversized books and shelving them elsewhere).

That could even prompt me to do a rough taxonomy. I wonder how well BISAC would fit my needs?

Obviously you just need to rearrange your shelves. Of course, at the moment, the books I’ve unpacked are in “this is the order I took them out of the box,” and I’ve pledged myself to not rearranging them (and not playing with Library Thing, and not ripping my my horrible carpeting) till I am Done With School, which is coming up in just a few short weeks, hurrah, hurrah). Anyway, I look forward to hearing whatever it is you have to say (and if you do come up with something to say about social software and digital preservation, then I can include a YouTube video in the bibliography for my independent study).
