Flickr and NZ 2.0

Interesting to see how National Library, Te Ara etc have a presence on Flickr while others NZ History net are going their own way it appears. There are advantages for piggybacking on the success of Flickr - the technology platform is already their so no need to develop afresh; users already have some familiarity with the Flickr interface which can only add to its appeal and usage. I quite like the upfront approach by Te Ara - it's presence on Flickr is stated loud and clear - the link to the Te Ara flickr page is on the Te Ara homepage.
