#11 Mash

This area of flickr mash-ups is a good example of the wide range of web 2.0 new emergences, from 'fun but pointless' to 'handy and productive', and a bunch of squidgy middle bits. The geographic tools, such as mapr, are awesome, and a great way to contextualise images. The random image cycling tool and flickr's favourite colour, are more in the former than the latter. And the colour searcher... well, it could have had an advanced search (ie: searching for more than one colour in an image), and the retrieval set could have been larger (admittedly, they would've decided to avoid the cluttery side of things). The image editing tools are a nice way to avoid photoshop, though, and could serve well when you're running out of avatars.
