Flickr Mashups

What fun! I've just tried my hand at Retrievr - the Flickr mashup that lets you find pictures based on your sketching abilities...now, either my sketching abilities leave a lot to be desired or the mashup is not very accurate in retrieving the images...In my opinion, I drew a beautiful mouse...but instead Retrievr retrieved eyes, roses, dogs, noses...but no mouse! Oh well. I have been told that I am a terrible drawer...another mashup that I explored is Spell with Flickr. What an innovative idea! The word "Rumpelstiltskin" took on a whole different meaning. Cool. I am not quite sure if I would ever use this application but it's fun to play with. The Flickr Color Pickr is a great way to find photos that will match a scrapbooking project, for example. I can see using this for backgrounds to letters, for example. These mashups are really fun - I wish I had the creativity to come up with something so innovative!
