Foursquare vs. Flickr

For our comparison project I've decided to engage in/study Foursquare and Flickr. They're both sites that I have never participated in that I've heard of and have seen linked to Twitter and Facebook, sites that I have been participating in.

I think, so far, that these sites allow users to project specific (and different) images of one's true self through their site. The use of pictures is shared, in different ways, between the two sites and there seems to be a sense of competition, too.

I've joined, and if you're on Foursquare, I need friends! On flickr, I'm flickr.com/jennaawhite.
