Assignment 1
I wrote about flickr's tags.
Mind you my server is set up to read perl scripts as .cgi
http://dimitri.negroponte.com/blog/dweb/dynamic.cgi
The code is in read more.
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Use CGI Perl module to output any error msgs to browser
#use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
# Tell the browser what type of data to expect
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
# Print our initial HTML
print qq^

While I am not a fan of flickr, there is one thing I like on the site, tags. mind you my problems is that I rather have the images to work with my own way. Being that I am interested in design and a photographer, I like to do things myself. Back to the manner at hand, tags. Tags are an interesting visual for a dynamic website. It shows the change of information on the site. Today dynamic sites have lots of information and show you what you want but they rarely show you a globe view of all the information. Tags does this. Many other photo site show what users of the site by making a gallery of best pictures or news ones. By grabbing the tagline of each image, it sizes the word used in the tagline and creates visual fabric of text. |
