Week 3, #6: Flickr mashups & 3rd party sites

In looking at Flickr, it is obvious that it is not just a photo posting site. It is amazing how people use it and apply their own creativity to expand upon its capabilities. I must say, though, the Flickr mashups and third part apps, while inventive, didn't particularly seem interesting or useful to me. Wait, scratch that: I did get way too engrossed with the Retrievr mashup: drawing little sketches to retrieve photos with similar colors and shapes. Some of the photos that popped up were breathtaking!
