Part 3. Report and reflect on your experience in this new social networking environment:
The social media site I signed up for is Flickr. The community it serves are those who have photos that will then be uploaded and be shared to the world, especially made for photography and photographers around the world. Signing up for this was not hard at all. I just needed a Yahoo! account if I had one, use it and I can start uploading photos. And if you did not have an account you can always create one for confirmation and notification purposes. The site has two main goals in maintaining it, (1) “We want to help people make their content available to the people who matter to them” and (2) “We want to enable new ways of organizing photos and video” 
With the user interaction, Flickr enables you to explore other user's photos and critic it on what you think about it. Also, by “exploring” through the site (i.e. tags, by theme, by dates, etc) you can find the photos you are looking for or what you want to see. In order to be socially active is by posting up photos based on whether or not you have themes you used, dates or places you've been to and by adding tags, people around the world can view your photos.
From what I have noticed that, Flickr also enables you to edit your profile, any changes in privacy, notifications, etc. You, as the user have the upper hand on what you want to do with your photos on whether it should be or can be views publicly. Lastly, the more active you are in uploading photos and leave comments other user's photos, album, etc the more you'll get recognized for your work and comments as advice among the Flickr community.
