Flikr

23 THINGS UPDATE:

Signed up for flikr and played around with 2 mashups. The first one is called "Spell with flikr" and you type a word in the blank and hit enter,the software then scans flikr for the letters of the word you spelled out! It was very interesting. I spelled out Carla and I really liked what turned up. I took a screen capture of it and maybe I can post it here. The second mash up I tried was called "Colr Pickr" and I just had a blast with this one. You Select a color from the color wheel; the color wheel scans flikr for photos that match your chosen color; it comes up with 12 photos that match, or closly match your chosen color. You can even view your chosen colors by themes like: doors and windows, urban decay, color box. If you click on one of the photos it takes you to flikr to see where the photo came from. This is where I got lost in the web of photos. I have never seen so many wonderful photos as these. I read some of the flikr photo bio's. It was fun. I felt like I was peeking into another persons life. Kind of like a fly on the wall.
