Task 5 - Flickr Mashups

What a neat tool!  This mashup spells words using clips of pics from Flickr.  What a great way to use the power of many photographers for fun!

And since we know that marriage is a giant puzzle, here's my wedding photo all puzzled-up.  These (not my wedding picture, but a picture of your choice) are actually available at this site for purchase.  How cool is that?


What are the implications for libraries?  You can have Flickr pictures of your library scrolling along on your website.  You can do neat photo-manipulation classes for patrons.  You could have kids take pictures and then order puzzles for them of their own photography.  You could use the images from the "Spell with Flickr" to make posters, promotional materials, etc.  All of these tools are available for relatively little cost - just the cost of some time and some fussing around to learn to use them!
