The Flickr experiment has ground to a halt. O and I explored some features usefully but probably just scratched the surface. S requested membership and posted a photo but did not anything else. I doubt that much else will happen now - possibly because handling visual materials is not a core activities for most colleagues.
I am also thinking that, for the next SIG thing I do, I'll give a tighter brief (eg request membership, post a photo, comment on a photo) and specify a time-frame, so colleagues don't feel they can put off participating. I'll also send reminder emails because if they want to learn about social media, they do have to use them! Overall, the SIG is going nowhere fast because there isn't a moderator following such principles. It's not because they are colleagues that they should know better (in fact possibly the opposite as so few have an online presence).
