Like many Web 2.0 sites, Flickr encourages other people to build their own online applications using images found on the site. Through the use of APIs (application programming interfaces), many people have created third party tools and mashups* that use Flickr images. Here are just a sampling of a few …
- Animoto - Will retrieve your flickr images and automatically make a cool music video out of them.
- Qoop - lets you create lots of cool stuff, like t-shirts, keychains, and even businesscards.
- Montagr – create a photo mosaic from photos found on Flickr.
Discovery Exercise:
Your discovery exercise for this “thing” is to:- Explore some of the fun Flickr mashups and 3rd party tools that are out there.
- Create a blog post about one that intrigues you.
Personally one of our very favorite tools is FD Toys’Trading Card Maker. And there’s a ton of librarians out there that have created their own Librarian Trading Card. So have some fun discovering and exploring some neat little apps. And if you're up to the challenge while you’re at it, why not create a trading card of your own. :)
Wikipedia offers some great articles that explain mashups. Basically they are hybrid web applications that take features from one application (like Flickr) and mash it up with another (like a map). In this example, you get Mappr (http://mappr.com).

very interesting. been
avoiding flickr using photobucket.
glad to broaden my skill set.
Glad you are having fun with photobucket (there's a lot of photo applications out there for photobucket as well).
Wicked cool! I like that trading card creator. I prefer using kodakgallery.com to store my photos. It gives me more control over who sees my family fotos.
I'm creating an Animoto music video for the bookmobile--trouble is, I don't have speakers so I don't know what the song I've selected sounds like!
