One thing that I dig about the net is that there are always nooks and crannies to explore and new things to see. Viral videos, web based games, you name it — there is a plethora of crap to suck away your time.
And what I am finding every now and then is that I will run across something that is well establish but which I have to date ignored which suddenly captures my interest and become a part of my daily life — Flickr is one such site.
It all started when I found myself looking for an easy way for my friend Donna to upload her pictures and incorporate them into her site. Flickr + A convenient WordPress plugin made that process much easier and better organized.
When I started this site I decided to put some of my favorite photos into a photo gallery and again, Flickr was easy, and worked well. Throw in some birthdays, events and a vacation and Flickr became further ensconced on my life.
Part of my nature is to always try to answer the question — “Well this is really cool, but what other cool things can I do with it?” It didn’t take long before I was asking this question about Flickr. Thanks to their API, people are developing new ways of extending Flickr all the time which has been a lot of fun to explore what other people have do.
Aside from that, its fun to explore what other people are taking pictures of, there are some funky things out there. Sadly, my cat montage is not getting the rave reviews that I was sure it would.
