Week 3, Thing 6: Flickr Mash-ups & Third Party Sites

I have spent an inordinate amount of time looking at Flickr mashups and tools. The number of different applications is amazing! I didn't find many that would have any practical value for me, but some are just fun. I was most interested in the apps related to maps and travel: Mappr, Trip Planner, Geowalk, and Travelr. This last is a free photo gallery for Flickr, which can be put on one's own web site to display Flickr photos geographically on a world map. It requires coordinates of only 1 photo in each set and will group all photos with the same geotag together. There is even a bookmarklet available to get the coordinates.
