Thing 6: Flickr Mashups

I looked at Clockr. At first I had problems because it took a few minutes for the download something button came up. When it did work, I thought it was a fun way to look at a clock. I may even download the screensaver at home.


I also tried Flickr Color Pickr. This is very similar to the color browse option in the arts and craft seller website, http://www.etsy.com/. I had some trouble opening some of the pictures because I think they were not shared pictures.


I did find this beautiful picture of a red wall with vines over it taken by Baboon™ in Tel Aviv.

I also found this frozen spider web taken by Davesag in Amsterdam.

I used the speller to spell my cat’s name.

And made a few altered pictures of him. Here they are:

Warholizer

Lolcat Generator

Some of the mashups would be fun ways to show photos from programs or of displays.

If the Spell with Flickr images are free to use, they would be fun for a promotional poster.

I still don't think I would want my personal photos shared with the world on the internet. But again, it all goes back to my need for privacy. I do send links to my photos to friends and family.
