Using Flickr, we can easily create context-rich communities that are very responsive to each other and to breaking news. Many of us first coalesced around the 7/7 and 7/21 bombings in London. The same skills make fotoblogging on Katrina equally easy. I am sure there are other fotoblog sites out there and lots of other types of blogging (I diaried our flickr content on www.dailykos.com and the diary remained high in the recommended column for many hours today.. people were hungry for news) but there is a continuum of community within flickr where we share pics of our kids, pets, gardens, what ever, when massive news stories do not distract us. I really appreciate this piece you all did today because now I am a member of NowPublic.com and look forward to seeing how it might be of use for extending fotoblogging (and I am not sure what is next but thats the fun of it!) Nika Vanessa,

So I may catch tonight's "Speech In War" show when I get home.
