Task 5-Flickr Mashups & Third Party Sites

I found some fun Flickr mashups and third party sites. I have included links to the ones I found useful under the heading "Find A Photo Search." I really like Color Fields Colr Flickr for finding an image that will look good with a color scheme online quickly. Flappr is very useful in finding specific images. I did a search for impressionist painting and the application took me right to what I was looking for. While I found Tagnautica visually appealing, the organization of the subject catagories is limiting. I first typed in Art, which produced many subcategories. Then I typed in paintings, which gave me more subcategories. Then I typed in impressionist and struck out! I used Spell with Flickr to make a fun graphic for a section I am planning which will contain links to poetry sites. I just discovered that the letters on Spell with Flickr are scalable if you select Rich Text in the text editor. (You have to use the HTML/Java option when you add a page element. By viewing Rich Text, you can change the size of the letters visually, without having to deal with altering the HTML code).
