Fun with Flickr
I’ve been having a great time with Flickr lately, and there are so many cool toys that people have created using the Flickr database:
- Spell with Flickr (What I used to spell my name above)
- Color Pickr, the original
- Squared Circle Color Pickr, based on pictures in the popular Squared Circle Pool.
- And related to the above Color Pickr idea, I realized that all you have to do is change the end of the URL to match the Flickr group photo pool you like. For example, http://www.krazydad.com/colrpickr/index.php?group=crayonbox will bring up a Color Pickr using all of the photos in the Crayonbox Pool, so it’s endlessly tweakable!
- Flickr Tag Browser
- I started to find even more cool Flickr fun on my own, but this guy has done a fine job, so I’ll just share his blog post about Flickr, and point out some of my favorite links: make computer desktop wallpaper and postcards, and view Flickr pictures on your Tivo!
Last, but hardly least, if you haven’t seen the Flickr Transparent Screens photoset, you must! It’s really amazing. Here’s a ticklr (get it? ticklr?!). Buh-dump!
