I had a great time playing with some of the mashups done with Flickr. I loved playing with these two (info taken off of Flickr):
retrievr by System One Labs
A lovely experiment, retrievr lets you search and explore in a selection of Flickr images by drawing a rough sketch and then seeing which of our interesting photos come up as a match. Beware! You will spend hours pouring over the stunning (and sometimes unexpected) results.
Flickr Color Picker by JBum
Using images from the Color Fields group on Flickr, JBum has created a beautiful and efficient Experimental Color Picker. Just click on a color, use the slider to adjust lightness and darkness, and it will show you photos with that color.
With retrievr, I was suprised at how a simple drawing I had made could bring back so many diverse images. And using Flickr Color Picker was a pleasure as I have always enjoyed playing with color (although you certainly couldn't tell by visiting me at home - in my garden, yes but not inside my house!).
I plan to explore some more matchups later.
