When it comes to Flickr, I used to be a fan, a huge fan. But then, even though I don't license my photos through the CC license, they've began popping up in places where they shouldn't. When people ask to use my shots, I almost always give them permission, sometimes they even pay me. But the thieves really make me mad. Just something to keep in mind when you take nice photos and decide to post them online. Add me to the postcard crowd – I love them!!! – I sent them to myself sometimes.

Do we do those anymore?! Actually, I do, and collect them too. I keep all the ones people send me and pop it into a frame - it makes for an awesome collectible collage. I might do another one for the places I go to, as well. Will be checking out Last.FM now - Btw, I think I am the last one who hasn't jumped on the Flickr boat. Postcards? Do we do those anymore?!

Yes Twitter itself is free and if you update via the web or one of it's many desktop applications it won't cost you a penny. But sending updates via your phone is the normal cost of an SMS from your service provider, and that's something some people don't really keep track of... it really is addictive! I have a quick lifehack for postcards as well. I print up a page or two of stickers with the addresses on them before I leave. Then I just stick them on the postcards and away they go. It certainly saves time and the annoyance of realising you don't know Aunty Em's postcode! Hi Caitlin!

By the way, Twitter is actually free - you pay if you are sending the tweets via SMS but it's free over the internet. I find the other problem with sending tweets via SMS is that my phone doesn't tell me how many characters I'm using and it lets me send longer SMS messages than Twitter will accept. I'm niltiac on Twitter if anyone wants to look for me there. Oh and I'm with you on postcards - I still send them and they're always a thrill to receive. Great post!
