Flickr pictures in a Polaroid gallery

I just found an interesting web site where you could use your Flickr ID to display your pictures in a very nice gallery. It is interactive and you can reorder the pictures you see as you wish.
The owner of the Polariod Gallery is Christopher Einarsrud and he gives you the chance to use the script and Flash file for free!
Give a check, it is really nice.

If you are using Flickr for uploading and sharing your pictures probably you would like to know some tools that can present the pictures on a web site. I found one called PictoBrowser. I think is really great! and you can see it here:



Check for much more tools here. I find super interesting this tool for making comics from your pictures!

Place a picture in a map

I was reading an article from Technology Review about a new feature from Flickr. really good thing!
It is about a new way of tagging pictures. Its name is "geotagging".
This is a very good idea especially for commercial purposes. Because business could use this technology to show what are they offering or what is going on on their stores placing pictures in "their" map.
There are available other services like this one but according to Technology Review Flickr is the easier to use. I still have some problems because I placed the tag in Austria instead of Slovenia.
Some of the services are:

Good article from Flickr founder

In the past months I got the chance to read some interviews and listen some podcasts to important and active personalities of the Web.
All of them had something in common: They are thinking on the Human Nature, they are trying to answer: What is the trigger for capturing the attention of the people?
In many cases the answer was on empowering the individual to express with creativity.
This article is worth to read.
