For Learning 2.0 week 3 (which was last week!)Perhaps I’m just feeling cynical because today is my birthday and I have begun the inexorable downhill slide to 40, but most flickr mashups just don’t give me the warm fuzzies. Some of them are pretty entertaining, like FlickrSudoku, Spell with Flickr, and the Color Pickr, but most of the hundreds listed on the Flickr Mashups page I have a hard time finding a use for.

He is one of those hard-to-find tech-geek guys who are great writers with a lot of heart. This comes through in his blog, his flickr stream, and in the care with which he creates his “flickr toys.” The ones I use again and again are the Mosaic Maker, Scout, and Flickr DNA, but I have also used the Badge Maker, the Magazine Cover generator, the Motivational Poster generator, the Hockneyizer (mine), Captioner, Billboard maker, and the Profile Widget. I also notice he has a lolcat generator! New (to me) Flickr mashups I tried out for this assignment: Stained Glass Collage Originally uploaded by cindiann Yawn. I think that photographers who don’t use as tight a crop as I typically do might find this useful. I don’t. Perhaps I just chose poorly. I don’t really consider this a mashup, because it’s only possible to create collages of your own photos, that you have to upload to the stainedglasscollage website. If I could enter a tag and have it create a collage from the most interesting (Creative Commons-licensed, of course!) photos matching that tag, this would be more, useful to me. C- My Flickrgraph Originally uploaded by cindiann So. This is a graph from flickrgraph showing me, a few of my friends and several friends-of-friends. OK. … Sigue leyendo →
