FlickrFan

After listening to an interview with Dave Winer on a TWiT (this week in tech #134) podcast, I became interested in a “service” Winer was hacking together called FlickrFan.

TiltViewer

A couple of letters can make a difference.

File this under the heading - there is no way to avoid all problems in the real world.
I have been doing some exploration for a piece I am writing on educational uses of the social image sharing site - Flickr. Somehow, in this process, I began investigating a project that had students submit pictures they [...]

Geotags in Flickr

I heard about adding geotags to Flickr images today and had to give it a try.
Examine this Flickr link
