Flickr News

Readers, allow me first to apologize for the lack of a blog post yesterday. I was a bit “under the weather,” so to speak and so did not have a post to share with you. I have one today though - about the photo sharing site I use, Flickr.

I discovered “machine tags” yesterday while checking out a new travel website named Dopplr. These machine tags work with Dopplr’s database of locations and makes the tag area show a Dopplr-specific tab on the side, like this:
























See the rainbow thing, then the text “Taken at Hotel Saint Cecila?” That’s the machine tag. Pretty neat, huh? Well, machine tags work with all sorts of other applications, the one most intriguing to me is Open Library. It’s pretty cool what you can do with that, and here’s an example of a book both on flickr as well as Open Library.

Pretty cool, huh? I hope you enjoy it as well. Oh, and Cosby told me to say hi to all the readers out there.
