Since then, social media websites have grown to encompassmany types of photo, video, audio, and even hyper-link sharing.Manyresearchers have conducted work on these social-websites in general yetthere still exists many opportunities to explore how people engage withmedia online, specifically multimedia, in social contexts. In thistalk, I will highlight some new challenges for researchers studyingsocial photography and present a few recent findings from my lab'sinvestigation of Flickr which include geographic annotation ofphotographs and regions, community congregation online, and socialengagement.</EM></P>
