Spell With Flickr
is a neat little tool, however I wasn't able to intuitively find it within the Explore portion of Flickr. In fact when I went to the Explore:Flickr Services page I was really turned around. Initially I wanted to go directly to the Third party Flickr apps list on the right hand side. The first few Apps I selected were not working Mappr by Stamen Design stated they are no longer processing photos from Flickr, then I went to FlickrBooth by Tristan O'Tierney which only applies to Mac users (which I am not one of). This process seemed to go on and on, as I found programs that did not apply to me or that were defunct.
I then selected one of the Featured Apps. fd's Flickr Toys, which took me to the Big Huge Labs page I was trying to access under Thing #7 with no success. The website is actually pretty cool with lots of options to play with your photos. I decided to make one of my image transfers into a puzzle.
It also appears that you can create custom mosaics, fake magazine covers, motivational posters, calendars, wallpapers, and the list goes on and on.
One interesting thing I did find was an app called "Flickr DNA" which basically gives you a breakdown of information on your activity within Flickr. I personally liked this graph on the dispersion of tags used within all of the library photos uploaded to the Flickr account.
Something like this may be useful in a report about the library's utilization of Flickr.
